RS-232 ACK NAK Timeout Value
This item specifies the time the scanner will wait for an ACK character
from the host following a label transmission.
• 0 = Infinite timeout
• 1 - 75 = Timeout in 200-millisecond increments
To set the ACK NAK Timeout Value:
1. Scan the SWITCH barcode.
2. Scan the barcode below,
SET RS-232 ACK NAK TIMEOUT VALUE
.
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. A setting of 0 specifies an infinite
timeout. The remaining selectable range is 1-75, which is the
timeout in 200-millisecond increments. Pad all single digit num-
bers with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (00-75).

Examples:
00 = Infinite timeout
01 = 200ms
05 = 1,000ms (1 second)
40 = 8,000ms (8 seconds)
75 = 15,000ms (15 seconds)
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits have been scanned.
