4.2.1 Wedge Quiet 
Interval
Specifies the amount of time the reader looks for keyboard activity before it breaks the keyboard 
connection in order to transmit data to host. The range is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments.
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 Go to page 50 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to enter Prog. 
Mode.
4 Scan the barcode: SELECT WEDGE QUIET INTERVAL 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 to set the Wedge Quiet Interval. See Table Wedge Quiet Interval 
Setting Examples for some examples of how to set this feature.
