Getting strange symbol “Y” on the OIA line after upgrading to Passport 2007

Product

Issue

After upgrading to Passport 2007, I am receiving a crossed-out "Y" symbol that appears on the OIA line when typing. What does the symbol mean?

 

Solution

The crossed-out “Y” symbol is equivalent to “X-little man” (Input attempted in protected field (use Reset to release).  In order to see the “X-little man” symbol, you will need to use any of the PASSPORT font types instead of the Windows font types.

 

For PASSPORT PC to Host:

  1. Start a PASSPORT session
  2. Select Fonts from the Options menu.
  3. Select a PASSPORT Font Type from the drop-down list.

For PASSPORT Web to Host:

 

From the Client:

Instructions are the same as those for PASSPORT PC to Host.
