Intercharacter Delay
Product Reference Guide 87
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.
NOTE
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

e.
This completes the procedure. See Table 14 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’ ‘1’ and ‘5’ ‘6’ and ‘0’ ‘8’ and ‘5’
6 Scan ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE
This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
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.
