Timeout Between Decodes, Same Symbol
Parameter # 137 (SSI # 89h)
Use this option in Continuous Bar Code Read mode to prevent the beeper from continuously beeping when a

before the digital scanner reads the same consecutive symbol. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from
0.0 to 9.9 seconds. The default interval is 0.5 seconds.
To select the timeout between decodes for the same symbol, scan the bar code below, then scan two numeric bar
codes from Appendix G, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired interval, in 0.1 second increments.
