Some applications and utilities require the use of a text editor that
you must install. To use this text editor in ODS, specify the path and
file name with the F5-Configuration menu. This lets ODS activate
the text editor option.
Important: You must supply the text editor and install it on the
computer’s hard disk.
1. To access the text editor setup, pull down the F5-Configuration
menu.
2. Select the Text editor setup option.
ODS asks for the DOS path and file name of the text editor.
