Options

Receive mode hold	Remain in receive mode after receiving a message from the host. If you clear this option, T27 switches to local mode after receiving a message. NOTE:If When DC1 received is set to Stay In Receive, the session will stay in receive mode even if Receive Mode Hold is cleared
Forms transmit to cursor	Transmit all transmittable fields between home and the cursor position when the session is in forms mode. If you clear this option, T27 transmits all transmittable fields on the page
Line at a time transmit	Transmit only the line containing the cursor. If you clear this option, T27 transmits the entire page. NOTE:This option does not affect transmissions when you press the minus key (-) on the numeric keypad.
Raw 8-bit data	Transmit extended characters to the host and preserve the values above ASCII 127. If you clear this option, T27 transmits extended characters as 7-bit characters.
FF clears tabs	Clear any variable tabs when T27 receives an FF character from the host. If you clear this option, T27 will not clear the variable tabs NOTE:T27 always clears the page after receiving the FF character, whether or not you select this option.
SOH clears screen	Clear the page containing the cursor when T27 receives an SOH character from the host. This ensures that the host has an empty page on which to write data. If you clear this option, T27 takes no action when it receives an SOH character. This option applies to non-forms mode only.
