Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character 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.
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 result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Programming
Mo
de.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from
the keypad in Appendix E
, Keypad, that represent the
duration which was determined in the steps abov
e. You will hear a two-beep indication
after the last character.
NOTE
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mod
e.
This completes the procedure. See Table 7 for some examples of how to set this feature.

STEP ACTION EXAMPLES
1 Desired Setting
50ms 150ms 600ms 850ms
2
Divide by 10 (and pad with
leading ze
roes to yield two-
digits)
05 15 60 85
3 Scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
4 Scan SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING
5
Scan Two Characters From
Appendix E, Keypad
‘0’ and ‘5’ ‘5’ and ‘0’ 0’ and ‘0’ ‘8’ and ‘5’
6 Scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL
barcode to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start
again at the beginning.
