Actual vs. Virtual Display
The Falcon PT40's actual display screen is a window to a larger display area
called the virtual display (refer to
Figure 4 ). Most applications you will use will
fit into the actual display. However, applications can sometimes contain data
longer than the default 6 line by16 character view of the actual display.
Figure 4. Virtual vs. Actual Display Using Default System Font
The actual display screen shows only a portion of the available data in the vir-
tual display. Use the arrow keys to navigate the actual display screen to view
the virtual display data. The text in the virtual display remains in place and the
actual display screen changes its view within the virtual display.
If you scan longer bar codes or enter more data than can fit in a single line of
the virtual display, the data automatically wraps to the next line. Because
applications for the PT40 can contain and use different fonts, the amount of
data that is available within the virtual display will vary.
