Host Character Timeout
Parameter #
239
(SSI # EFh)
This parameter specifies the maximum time a scanner waits between characters transmitted by the host before discarding the received data and declaring an error.
Select an option to specify the maximum time the scanner waits from Low to High.
Other values are available via SSI command.
*Low - 200 msec (20)
Medium - 500 msec (50)
High - 750 msec (75)
Maximum - 990 msec (99)
