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.

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 two-beep indication
after the last character.

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.

This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.

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.
