WAIT TIME FOR HOST ACKNOWLEDGE

The wait time for the Base Station to receive an acknowledge command from the host is adjustable in twenty millisecond ticks, with a selectable range from 000 to 255 (0 to 5.1 seconds). The factory default setting for this feature is 200ms.

WARNING

Wait time for host acknowledge is especially critical when WACK mode is enabled, and should be calculated using the formula below.

Wait Time

number of barcode characters x

number of bits per byte

baud rate + intercharacter

 

 

To set the host acknowledge wait time:

1.Determine the desired wait time in twenty millisecond ticks (for example: sixty).

2.Scan the SET label.

3.Scan the SET WAIT TIME FOR HOST ACKNOWLEDGE label.

4.Set the wait time by scanning the desired amount (note that three digits are required). In the case of our example; 60 milliseconds would be selected by scanning 0-0-3 (20ms tick x 3 = 60ms).

5.Scan the END label.
