VT Tab

These VT specific options are described below. This tab is only for VT and SCO-ANSI sessions.

Return Key
The Return Key may be set to CR (Carriage Return) or CRLF (a combination of Carriage Return and Line Feed.)

Answer Back Message
This option is used to establish a question and answer sequence between the host and the client. This message is limited to 20 characters. The answerback message is typically used to identify the terminal to the host by sending a message to the host, automatically, without operator action. Hexadecimal is represented by the tilde and hex number. (A hexadecimal example is ~0D for hex 13, which represents the 13th ASCII character sequence.)

Local Echo
This option echoes back each character typed; for instance, when p3 is typed, pp33 is displayed back.

Wrap
The Wrap around option permits typing beyond the 80-character limitation (on an 80-character-wide screen) by wrapping the continued line on to the next line.

Line Transmit Mode
This option sends an entire line. Compare this to the normal character transmit mode, where each character is sent on a character-by-character basis.

Reverse Screen Image
This option reverses the background and foreground colors. For instance, the customary black background with green letters becomes a green background with black letters.

Scroll Speed (Lines Per Second)
Determines the speed at which lines will scroll on the emulation screen (from 1 to 100; default is 5). When this option is disabled, lines of data will scroll as fast as they are received from the host.

Pass-Through Printing

Bypass Windows Printer Driver
Enable this option to send print jobs directly to the printer without interpretation by the Windows printer driver. This removes the form feed sent by the driver at the end of print jobs.

Disable Printer Translation
Enable the Disable Printer Translation option to prevent any character translation and to print characters exactly as they come from the host. No character set translation is made from the host code page to the PC code page. You should use this option if the host already generates characters in the correct character set for your printer.

Note: the Bypass Windows Printer Driver option must be enabled to use this feature.

Finish Printing Time-out Value
Uses a timer to close the print job instead of closing it whenever ESC[4i command is issued.
