RS-232/USB COM Parameters
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one char-
acter 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
r
esult with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05,
20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Go to
page 46
and scan the bar code: 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.
NOTE
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code
to ab
ort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.
This completes the procedure. See the following table for examples of how to
set th
is feature.
