Intercharacter Delay
Product Reference Guide 75
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter de
lay be
tween the end of one character
and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990
milliseconds 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 lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad , that represent
the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indica-
tion after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See
Table 14
for some examples of how to set this
feature.
Table 15. Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples
NOTE
This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL barcode to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
