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 leading 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 Mode.
4. Go to page 14 and scan the barcode: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent the duration
which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit.
This completes the procedure. See Table 25 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 25. Intercharacter Delay Setting Examples
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.
