To operate the Hand-held Reader/Writer with the new setting, the power must be turned OFF then ON again, or the ABORT command must be used.
  • Page 52 Section 2 Communications Preparations Setting the Operating Parameters To optimize Hand-held Reader/Writer performance and reliability, operating parameters can be set to match the application. The following parameters can be set: the inter-character monitoring time, response delay time, auto command cancel time, write protection setting, and protocol. Usually there will be no problem if the default settings are used, but the system can be optimized by setting following parameters.
  • Page 53 Section 2 Communications Preparations  Auto Command Cancel Time The auto command cancel time is used to set the amount of time from after an auto command is sent until the command processing will be aborted. After waiting for the tag for a fixed period of time, an " RF Tag non-existent" error (error code: 72) will be returned to the host device.
