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 bar code.

2.Scan the bar code below, SET RS-232 ACK NAK TIMEOUT VALUE. You’ll need to cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure that the scanner reads only the bar code 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 tim- eout in 200-millisecond increments. Pad all single digit numbers 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.
