RS-232 ACK NAK Timeout Value
This item specifies the time the scanner will wait for an ACK character
from the host following a label transmission.
• 0 = Infinite timeout
• 1 - 75 = Timeout in 200-millisecond increments
To set the ACK NAK Timeout Value:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan the bar code below, SET RS-232 ACK NAK TIMEOUT
VALUE. 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 timeout. A setting of 0 specifies an infinite
timeout. The remaining selectable range is 1-75, which is the tim-
eout in 200-millisecond increments. Pad all single digit numbers
with a leading zero to yield a two-digit entry (00-75).
Examples:
00 = Infinite timeout
01 = 200ms
05 = 1,000ms (1 second)
40 = 8,000ms (8 seconds)
75 = 15,000ms (15 seconds)
4. The scanner will automatically exit Programming Mode when the
appropriate amount of digits have been scanned.
