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.
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 76 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter
Prog. Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT WEDGE QUIET INTERVAL SETTING on 
page 76.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in 
Appendix D, that represent the
duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indi-
cation after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.
This completes the procedure to set the Wedge Quiet Interval. See the table below for
examples of how to set this feature.

NOTE: This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
NOTE: 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.
