Entering multi-segment input

When you set the AUTO switch to AUTO, you send data in the buffer plus an EOM to IMS when you press the carriage-return key or the Form Feed key. For a SLU-1 Communication Terminal, set the AUTO switch to OFF when you enter multi-segment input.

Enter multi-segment input as follows:

Procedure

  1. Enter the first segment of the input.
  2. Press the carriage-return key.
  3. Press the EOB (end of buffer) key to send the buffer contents, if required. If you want to enter another segment in this buffer, do not press the EOB key.
  4. Enter the next input segment.
  5. Press the carriage-return key.
  6. If there are more segments to enter, return to step 3. If not, press the EOM key.
