Scanning Active Time
This setting specifies the amount of time that the scanner stays in scan ON state once the 
state is entered. The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments.
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting.
2. Pad the result with leading zeroes to yield three
 digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005, 
20 = 020, etc.
3. Go to page 57 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter 
Programming Mode.
4. Scan the barcode: SELECT SCANNING ACTIVE TIME SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three dig
its from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that repre-
sent 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 barcod
e to exit Programming 
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 38 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 38. Scanning Active Time 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 begin-
ning.
