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 14

for some examples of how to set this

feature.

Table 15. Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples

NOTE

This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.

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.
