701408-002 1-3
Introduction
Offline Pull-Down Menus – The pull-down menus offer simplicity and ease of use for
all setup functions.
Mono/Dual Case Mode – Allows the operator to specify all uppercase character entry
or upper- and lowercase character entry.
Mark Unprotected Field Indicator – The 1481 provides a menu option to activate the
Mark Unprotected Field indicator. When this option is activated, an underscore is
displayed in each unprotected field on the screen. This is particularly useful in entering
fields of data.
Auto Screen Cutoff – The screen automatically blanks when a specified amount of time
passes during which a keystroke is not entered. Hold down the Alt key while you press
the Shift key to restore the screen without adding characters. The amount of time before
cutoff can be specified in Setup mode as 2, 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. The feature can be
disabled for no cutoff.
Power Saver Function – When Auto Screen Cutoff is enabled and the “Status Row
Only” option is selected from the Dim Style function, only the status line is displayed on
the screen for the first 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the entire screen, including the
status row, is blanked. Regardless of the dim style you choose (Status Row Only or
Monitor Off), the Power Saver function turns off the circuitry inside the terminal and
cuts power consumption by 50 percent.
Numeric Lock – Allows a field to be defined to accept only numeric characters, and the
Period, Minus, and Dup keys. The comma can be substituted for the period on some
international keyboards.
Audible Alarm – Sounds when a character is entered in the next-to-last character
position of the screen (if the last character position is unprotected), or when the host
system signals the display station.
Local Screen Print – Allows you to make a hard copy of displayed text using the screen
print function. The feature can be used with any desktop/screen printer, which must be
ordered separately.
Host Print – Allows you to make a hard copy of displayed text using a coax printer via
the controller.
Response Time Monitor – Supports host-controlled transaction response time
monitoring.
Modifiable Keyboard – Using the Keyboard Definition mode, the operator can modify
the keyboard layout by interchanging and adding keycaps. The control unit must be
properly configured to support this feature.
Entry Assist Function – Facilitates the creation and editing of text, such as memos,
letters, and documents. Refer to Chapter 5 for Entry Assist operation information. The
attached controller must support this function.
