End Character Activation After Good Read
After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the illumination can be programmed either to remain 
on and scanning, or to turn off.  When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the illumination turns off 
and stops scanning after a good read.  If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the illumination 
remains on after a good read.  Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.
Character Activation Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the illumination remains on and attempting to decode bar codes when using 
Character Activation Mode.  Set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following bar code, then setting 
the timeout (from 1-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this 
manual, then scanning Save.  Default = 30,000 ms.
Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode.  On the ASCII Conversion 
Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.  
Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that 
ASCII character.  Scan Save to finish.
Reread Delay
This sets the time period before the scanner can read the same bar code a second time.  Setting a reread delay protects against 
accidental rereads of the same bar code.  Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental rereads.  Use shorter delays in 
applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required.  Reread Delay only works when in a Presentation Mode (see page 
3-6).  Default = Medium.
