EAS Timeout
Specifies the amount of time that an EAS (Electronic Article Survellance)
signal is held in its active state for a good read.
To set the EAS Timeout:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan the bar code, SET EAS TIMEOUT below. You’ll need to
cover any unused bar codes on this and the facing page to ensure
that the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
3. Scan the appropriate digits from the keypad in Appendix C that
represent the desired EAS Timeout duration. The selectable range
is 0-255, which is the timeout in 10-millisecond increments. Pad
all single and double digit numbers with leading zeroes to yield a
three-digit entry (000-255).
Examples:
000 = EAS timeout disabled
001 = 10ms
005 = 50ms
040 = 400ms
250 = 2,500ms (2.5 seconds)
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits have been scanned
SET EAS TIMEOUT
NOTE
A setting of 0 (000) disables this feature.
