Character Activation Timeout
You can set a timeout for the length of time the illumination remains on and 
attempting to decode barcodes when using Character Activation Mode. Set the 
length (in milliseconds) for a timeout by scanning the following barcode, then 
setting the timeout (from 1-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the 
Programming Chart, beginning on page 311, then Save. Default = 30,000 ms.
Character Deactivation
If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, 
you can also send a deactivation character to stop scanning. Scan the following On 
barcode to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character 
(following) to select the character you will send from the host to terminate 
scanning. Default = Off.
Deactivation Character
This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character 
Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 300, 
find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate 
scanning. Scan the following barcode, then use the Programming Chart, beginning 
on page 311 to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII 
character. Scan Save to finish. Default = 14 [DC4].
