Scrolling
This table lists scrolling sequences in ANSI mode.
Transmitted Keyboard Codes
Transmitted codes are generated by computer keys and sent to the used host
computer or software application. The next few pages describe computer capability
to emulate codes generated by the VT/ANSI computer keyboard main keypad,
editing keypad, auxiliary keypad, and top-row function keys. Codes are sent via Line
Edit (block) mode or optimized Character mode selected through the keyboard
function labeled MODE on the overlay.
Line Edit (Block) Mode
Line Edit (block) mode is a synchronous condition where the computer temporarily
stores or “buffers” keys you press. It sends the cumulative data to the host computer
when you press one of these terminating keys:
Enter
F6
through
F20
,
PF1
through
PF4
CTRL
+
A
through
CTRL
+
Z
Forward Tab
Del
(7F hexadecimal)
Backspace
Esc
(hex 1B)
For codes generated by the cursor control key, see
“Cursor Keys” on page 76.
For codes generated by the auxiliary keypad keys, see
“Auxiliary Keypad” on
page 76.
When you press
PF1
, the following key will also be transmitted directly to the host
computer.
When scanning, the computer automatically enters Line Edit (block) mode for each
individual scan. When it completes scanning, it returns to the mode it was set at
before it started scanning.
Character Mode
Character mode (the default) is a condition where the computer sends, to the host
computer, each key as you press it. You should place the computer into Character
mode during these situations:
When the computer should immediately send information to the host computer.
This operation is called “type-ahead.”
