RS-232 Host Echo Quiet Interval
This setting specifies the time interval of RS-232 channel inactivity which
must transpire before the scanner will break the host echo loop to transmit
the barcode data that has just been scanned to the host.
• 0 - 100 = Time in 10-millisecond increments.
To set the Host Echo Quiet Interval:
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode.
2. Scan the barcode below, SET RS-232 HOST ECHO QUIET
INTERVAL . You’ll need to cover any unused barcodes on this and
the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the barcode
you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in
Appendix C
that
represent the desired timeout. The selectable range is 0-100,
which is the timeout in 10-millisecond increments. Pad all single
and double digit numbers with leading zeroes to yield a three-
digit entry (000-100).

Examples:
001 = 10ms
005 = 50ms
040 = 400ms
100 = 1,000ms (1 second)
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits have been scanned.
