Intercharacter Delay
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 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
NOTE
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
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.
NOTE
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.
