Enable/Disable Echo

Some terminals have no connection between their keyboard and display, so the operator
cannot see on the screen what has been entered on the keyboard. These terminals will
only show characters they have received from an external device. ECHO sends all
characters received by the tablet back to the terminal for display on the screen. The
default state of the ECHO is controlled by the soft switches, Bank 5, switch 1.

Host = ESC % E (b) CR

Menu = [ECHO ON/OFF] (b) [CR]

Cursor = FF E (b) E

Where b can equal 0, 1 or no entry.

If b = 0
If b = 1
If no b is entered

Echo will be disabled.
Echo will be enabled.
Echo function will toggle.

Enable/Disable Line Feed

It is often useful to include a line feed character (0A HEX) after every carriage return
character to advance the paper in a printer or move down the host’s display screen. The
power-on default condition of the linefeed is controlled by the soft switches.

Host = ESC % L b CR
