End-of-Line Sequence
The FieldBook transmits the end-of-line sequence at the end of each line. The end-of-line
sequence can be up to 10 ASCII characters long. The default is a carriage return followed by
a line feed (displayed as Å ).

End-of-Page Sequence
The FieldBook transmits the end-of-page sequence after transmitting the last line on a page
and the end-of-line sequence, subject to the following:

- When transmitting a response to a continuous request character, the FieldBook sends the

end-of-page sequence after the last end-of-line sequence and before the data in the first line
of the following page.

- If prompted line-by-line, the FieldBook sends the end-of-page sequence in response to a

line request. It does not tack on the end-of-line sequence.

The end-of-page sequence can be up to ten ASCII characters long. If you are transferring
data to a printer and want it to page up, set the end-of-page sequence to the ASCII form feed
by pressing <0> <1> <2> . If you don't want anything transmitted, press
<0> <0> <0> . The default setting is a carriage return followed by a line feed
(displayed as Å ).

End-of-File Sequence
The FieldBook sends the end-of-file sequence after it has transmitted the last line of a file,
subject to the following:

- If prompted with the continuous request character, the FieldBook transmits the end-of-file

sequence automatically.

- If transmitting line-by-line, the end-of-file sequence is sent in response to a line request.

The end-of-file sequence can be up to ten ASCII characters long. If you don't want anything
transmitted, press <0> <0> <0> . The default setting is carriage return
followed by a line feed (displayed as Å ).

Transmit Prompts
If you want the column prompts to appear at the top of each page, set this parameter to Y
(yes). Column prompts are transmitted only in Mode 2-1. The default is N (no).

Transmit Delay
The transmit delay is the amount of time, in tenths of a second, the FieldBook waits before
responding to a request character. A computer uses this time to prepare to receive data from
the FieldBook. A delay is especially useful when sending data to a printer with a limited
buffer size. The default setting is 0.
