ACK NAK
Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host fol-
lowing label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 sec-
onds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout.
To set this value:
1 Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2 Divide the desired setting by 200 (setting is in 200ms increments). Pad the result with leading
zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3 Go to page 41 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Pro-
gramming Mode.
4 Scan the barcode: SELECT ACK NAK TIMEOUT VALUE 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 Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table ACK NAK Timeout Value Setting Examples for some
examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE
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.
