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 millisec -
onds 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 bar code to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Go to
page 24
and scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix E
, 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.
This completes the procedure. See the following table for examples of how to set this
feature.
Table 3 - Intercharacter Delay 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.
