ACK NAK
Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host fol-
lowing label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 sec-
onds) 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.
