Reading Parameters
Label Gone Timeout
This feature sets the time after the last label segment is seen before the reader 
prepares for a new label. The timeout can be set within a range of 10 millisec-
onds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55 seconds) in 10ms increments. Label Gone 
Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label 
that is read
Follow these instructions to set this feature:
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 three digits. For example: 0 = 000, 5 = 
005, 20 = 020, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Program-
ming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT LABEL GONE TIMEOUT SETTING.
5. Scan the appropriate three alpha-numeric characters from the keypad in 
Appendix D, Keypad
 representing the duration which was determined in the 
steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication after the last character.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit Programming 
Mode.
This completes the procedure. See 
Table 17
 for some examples of how to set 
this feature.
Table 17. Timeout Setting Examples
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.
