Keyboard Interface
Wedge Quiet Interval
Specifies the amount of time the reader looks for keyboard activity before it 
breaks the keyboard connection in order to transmit data to host. The range 
is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments.
This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.
2. Divide the desired setting by 
10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad 
the result with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 
5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Go to page 46 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PR
OGRAMMING MODE bar code 
to enter Prog. Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SET WEDGE QUIET INTERVAL.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix D, Key-
pad, that represent the duration which was determined in the steps 
above. You will 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 bar code to exit.
This completes the procedure to se
t the Wedge Quiet Interval. See Table 35 
for some examples of how to set this feature.
