RFTerminal Object

The RFTerminal object is supported on iOS, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, Palm, and DOS. However, not all methods are supported for all OS types.

Remarks

An RFTerminal object contains the terminal settings. For network efficiency purposes, these settings are initially only set within the RFTerminal object when the object is first created. Therefore, to return the most current information you must first use the ReadTerminalInfo Method which will update the RFTerminal object with the latest device settings. For these same network efficiency reasons changes to device settings will not actually occur until a call to the ReadTerminalInfo Method has been made.
