Parameters
Intercharacter
Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms
increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1
Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2
Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3
Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming Mode.
4
Go to
and scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5
Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix 18, Use the barcodes in this
appendix to enter numbers as you would select digits/characters from a keypad.
, that repre-
sent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
6
Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit.
This completes the procedure. See
Table Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples
for some exam-
ples of how to set this feature.
