Scanning Active Time
This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader 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 104 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 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 indica-
tion after the last character.
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.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE barcode to exit Programming 
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See Table  42 for some examples of how to set this feature.
