Scanning Active Time
This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON 
state once the state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 
seconds in 1-second increments.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting.
2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 
= 000
, 5 = 005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Go to page 74 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code 
to enter Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT SCANNING ACTIVE
 TIME SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Key-
pad, that represent the duration which was determined in the steps 
above. You will hear a two-beep indic
ation after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, 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 bar code to exit Program-
ming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 42 for some examples of how to 
set this feature.
