7Keyboard Manual
Following is a detailed discussion of each of the settings, their
attributes, and the effects each of these will have on data output
from your Unitech keyboard.
Settings
Beep Tone
Select a value from “None” to “High” to set the loudness of the tone,
or select “Low to High” or “High to Low” to set the characteristic of
the tone.
Default is “Medium”.
Intercharacter Delay
Intercharacter Delay is the time duration between data characters
sent from the keyboard to the computer, usually originating from an
attached scanner or built-in magnetic stripe reader. Intercharacter
delay is usually inserted when the data flow must be slowed down to
accommodate a slower computer.
Default is “1 ms”.
Interblock Delay
Interblock delay is the time duration that can be inserted between
one block of data and another. This function is analogous to the
time duration required between dialing a phone number’s country
code and the phone number itself. The interblock delay can be
inserted via KCM’s Data Editing function (see page 28).
Default is “10 ms”.
The three attributes for “Beeps and Delays” are: “Beep Tone”,
“Intercharacter Delay”, and “Interblock Delay”.
