COMMUNICATION CODES

TTYs communicate with each other using a kind of “language” which is called a
“communication protocol” or “code.” The Superprint Pro80 LVD uses three different
communication codes: Turbo Code

®

, Baudot and ASCII (optional).

The Superprint Pro80 LVD automatically decides which code to use while
communicating with other TTYs. It can tell what codes the other TTY uses and selects
the most appropriate code.

For various reasons, you can set the Superprint Pro80 LVD to use only the code that you
tell it to. It will return to the default setting when you turn it off.

TURBO CODE

About Turbo Code

When your Superprint Pro80 LVD connects to another TTY that uses Turbo Code, your
conversation occurs as fast as you type. This means that your conversation is sent using
“real time” transmission and reception without annoying delays. Plus, Turbo Code allows
you to interrupt the other person.

You can tell when the TTY has connected using Turbo Code because a small dot, like a
period, is displayed on the left side of the display.

If you wish to turn off Turbo Code, see “Turbo Code” on page 52.
