ACK NAK Retry Count
This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry
condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and
a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
To set this feature:
1. Determine the desired setting.
2. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 005,
20
= 020, etc.
3. Go to page 51 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter
Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT ACK NAK RETRY COUNT SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Keypad, that represent
the number which was determined in the steps abo
ve. You will hear a two-beep indication
after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming
Mo
de.
This completes the procedure. See Tabl e 29 for some examples of how to set this feature.
Table 29. ACK NAK Retry Count Setting Examples

to abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the
beginning.
