[NFBCS] JAWS and Braille display question

[Louis Maher]

Hello Amanda,

It is possible that your status cells are switched on.  In this mode, the first, or last, five cells of your display are giving you information about your line.  

Look at:

Status cells are designated cells on a refreshable braille display designed to provide the user information, such as line number, column number, or the
active JAWS screen reader cursor. The Focus contains 4 status cells which, by default, are situated on the left end of the display. You can specify whether
you want the status information to appear on the left, the right, or not at all.

Subject: [NFBCS] JAWS and Braille display question

I'm reading math with my 40-cell display, so it is important that I can use all the cells to display what I am actually reading.
Unfortunately, JAWS wastes the first five characters by displaying what appears to be a line number. I've tried turning off structured mode, setting the Braille display output to speech, and unchecking every option that might be causing these unwanted line numbers, but they just won't go away. Can someone tell me which option to uncheck?
Thanks.
