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
e
sult 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 26
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 abor
t 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 this feature.
