Keyboard Interface
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one char-
acter 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
This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
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
r
esult with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05,
20 = 20, etc.
3. Go to
page 61 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to
enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING on
page 61 .
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in
Appendix D, Keypad , that
represent the duration which was determined in the steps above. You will
hear
a two-beep indication after the last character.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last cha
racter, scan the CANCEL bar-
code to abort and not save the entry
string. You can then start again
at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for examples of how to set
this fe
ature.
