Digitizer Preferences
The Digitizer Preferences screen activates the digitizer calibration screen. This is the same
screen that displays when you start your SPT 1700 terminal for the first time. A complete
description of how to use the digitizer calibration screen can be found in
Calibrating the
Screen on page 1-17.
Formats Preferences
Use the Formats Preferences screen to set the display format of the country, dates, times
and
numbers on your SPT 1700 terminal.
Country Default
The country default sets date, time, week start day, and number conventions based on
geographic regions where you might use your SPT 1700 terminal. For example, in the
United Kingdom, time often is expressed based on a 24-hour clock. In the United States it
is based on a 12-hour clock with an AM or PM suffix.
All your SPT 1700 terminal applications use the Country default settings. You can, however,
customize your own preferences as described in
Time, Date, Week Start and Numbers
Formats on page 14-10.
