Beeps and Delays
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”.
Settings
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 magnetic stripe reader.
MS240/241 Manual 7
The three attributes for “Beeps and Delays” are: “Beep Tone”,
Intercharacter Delay”, and “Interblock Delay”.
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 RCM’s Data Editing function (see page 16).
Default is “10 ms”.
Intercharacter Delay
Intercharacter delay is the time duration between data characters
sent from the reader to the computer. Intercharacter delay is usually
inserted when the data flow must be slowed down to accommodate
a slower computer.
Default is “1 ms”.
Keyboard Wedge
Your Unitech reader contains a built-in data decoder that translates
raw magnetic stripe input into Keyboard Scan Code, or ASCII Code
in the case of RS232 interface readers, with the result that magnetic
stripe data exits the reader as if you had typed the text.
The four keyboard wedge parameters are listed on the following
page.
