SCANNER CONFIGURATION MANAGER

Settings

Following is a detailed discussion of each of the settings, their at- tributes, and the effects each of these will have on data output from your MS860.

Beeps and Delays

The three attributes for “Beeps and Delays” are: “Beep Tone”, “Interblock Delay”, and “Intercharacter Delay”.

Beep Tone

Select a value from “None” to “High” to set the loudness of the tone, or select “Low to High” or “High to Low” to set the characteristic of the tone.

Default is “Medium”.

Interblock Delay

Interblock delay is the time duration that can be inserted between one block of data and another. This function is analogous to the time duration required between dialing a phone number’s country code and the phone number itself. The interblock delay can be inserted via SCM’s Data Editing function (see page 57).

Default is “10 ms”.

Intercharacter Delay

Intercharacter delay is the time duration between data characters sent from the scanner to the computer. Intercharacter delay is usually inserted when the data flow must be slowed down to accommodate a slower computer.

Default is “1 ms”.

Keyboard Wedge

Your Unitech reader contains a built-in data decoder that translates raw bar code input into Keyboard Scan Code, or ASCII Code in the case of RS232 interface readers, with the result that scanned data exits the reader as if you had typed the text.

The four keyboard wedge parameters are listed on the following page.
