ACK NAK Timeout Value
This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character
from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200
milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) 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
r
esult with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05,
20 = 20, etc.
3. Go to page 53 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to
enter Programming 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
wil
l hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar-
code to abort and not save the entry
string. You can then start again
at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table 31 for some examples of how to set
this feature.
