Intercharacter Delay

This parameter specifies the intercharacter de

lay 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.

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 7

for some examples of how to set this feature.

Table 7. Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples

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.
