The Braille Lite M20-M40 User's Manual - Freedom Scientific

only need to see the prompt that ends a long
display of menu choices.
Question: I'm connected to a computer or
bulletin board through a modem and have serial
tracking turned on so I can see and hear
everything that's coming into the Braille Lite. I
can tell when the other device has stopped
sending because the display stops moving and I
see about the last eighteen characters worth of
text that's been transmitted. But on my Braille
display I can't see what I'm typing when I'm
responding to a prompt from the computer or
bulletin board.
Answer: You probably have keyboard tracking
turned off so that the Braille display's cursor
(dots 7-8) is not moving as you type. Bring up
the Status Menu with an ST-SIGN CHORD and
jump to the setting with a K-CHORD. Write a Y to
turn on keyboard tracking. Exit the Status Menu
with an E-CHORD. From now on, what you type
should be displayed as you write it. Since you
also have serial tracking on, though, when
information comes into your Braille Lite from the
other device, your Braille display will zap you to
approximately the last eighteen characters
worth of information sent by the other device. If
you don't want this to happen but you still want
to see what you're typing as you write, turn
serial tracking off. Bring up the Status Menu
again and press a T-CHORD to jump to the
setting. Write an N and exit the Status Menu
