Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and
the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 millisec-
onds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
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 69 and scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter
Programming Mode.
4. Scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SETTING on
page 69.
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 Programming Mode.
This completes the procedure. See the table below for examples of how to set this fea-
ture.

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.
