WEDGE_POWER_TIMEOUT Use this command to optimize scan

performance or to save power.

The WEDGE_POWER_TIMEOUT defaults to

30 ms. After 30 seconds of inactivity, the

scan acquisition system enters a low power

state. Press the scan button to exit the low

power state and power up the scan

acquisition system.

The timeout value is set using the

WEDGE_POWER_TIMEOUT profile

command. The units are milliseconds.

30 ms

PREAMBLE Adds a prefix to the start of the bar code

data.

POSTAMBLE Adds a suffix at the end of the data to bar

code data.

ENTER_DELAY Inserts a delay between bar codes when

wedging the bar code data into the keyboard

buffer. A delay of ENTER_DELAY is inserted

whenever the Wedge encounters a carriage

return, line feed, or tab key. The units for

ENTER_DELAY are milliseconds.

Some applications, such as Excel, may

require additional processing time when

advancing to the next input field. Without a

delay, data may arrive faster than the

application can process the data. You can

use the POSTAMBLE command to add a line

feed at the end of each bar code.
