General Scanner and Scale Features
Double Read Timeout
The Double Read Timeout feature sets a time limit that determines how
much time must pass before reading the same label again (e.g. two identi-
cal items in succession).
To set the Double Read Timeout:
1. Scan the SWITCH bar code.
2. Scan your selection from the bar codes 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. Complete the programming sequence by scanning the SWITCH
bar code.
DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 400ms
DOUBLE READ TIMEOUT = 600ms
NOTE
If the incidence of multiple reads is not acceptable, increase the Double Read
Timeout setting to a higher value.
