Beep on BEL

When enabled, the scanner will beep when a <BEL> character is

detected on the RS-232 link. <BEL> may be used to indicate an

event such as an illegal entry.

Unknown characters are characters not recognized by the scanner.

When Send Bar Codes with Unknown Characters is enabled, all

decoded bar code data is transmitted except for the unknown

characters. If this option is disabled, bar codes containing one or

more unknown characters are not transmitted.

The response timeout determines the maximum amount of time the

scanner will wait before it assumes the end of a transmission. The

timeout period may be from 0.0 to 9.9 seconds in 0.1 second

increments. The default is 2.0 seconds.

To enter a new timeout, scan the timeout label followed by the two

digit timeout. The decimal point is fixed between the first and

second digits.
