ACK NAK Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the
host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to
15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout.
To set this value:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 200 (setting is in 200ms 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 bar code to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ACK NAK TIMEOUT VALUE SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
, that represent the
duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi
-
cation after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for examples of how to set this fea
-
ture.
Table 11 - ACK NAK Timeout Value Setting Examples
NOTE: If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL
bar code to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at
the beginning.
