Note: PrefixĂ/ĂSuffix entries for specific symbologies override the universal (All
Symbologies, 99) entry.
Note: Adding a Prefix or a Suffix appends that PrefixĂ/ĂSuffix to any existing entries
for the symbology(s) you've chosen. For example, if you've already programmed
and saved a CRĂ/ĂLF (carriage returnĂ/Ăline feed) and add a #" Prefix, the "#"
will be sent after the CRĂ/ĂLF.
If you add a Prefixă/ăSuffix but want existing entries cleared, you'll need to use
the Clear Specific PrefixĂ/ĂSuffix programming selection first. Then use the
Add PrefixĂ/ĂSuffix programming selection to program your new PrefixĂ/ĂSuffix.

4.3 Output Selections
Default All Output Selections
Scanning the Default bar code will program the 3700 Wedge to the output
options indicated by a ✱" in the menu selections on this and the following two
programming pages.
✱ Default All Output Settings ✱
Beeper Volume
This programming selection provides control of the 3700 Wedge's beeper
volume. The beeper volume may be turned off, or it may be set from low to high
in three increments. Default = High.

SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Technical Manual
Output Delays
This programming selection provides control of the Output Delays, which are
time delays between data output by the 3700 Wedge to the host terminal.
(Specific output delaysare described below.) The actualdelay is 5milliseconds
multiplied by the programmed value (00 - 99). Default = 00.
Note: To select digits 0 through 9, use the Programming Chart found on the
inside of the back cover of this menu. Scan the programming selection bar code
first, and then scan the bar code(s) representing the digits you wish to set.
Intercharacter Delay is the time delay between data characters output by the
3700 Wedge to the host terminal.
Interfunction Delay is the time delay between function (key) codes output by
the 3700 Wedge to the host terminal.
Intermessage Delay is the time delay between data messages or records
output by the 3700 Wedge to the host terminal.
Example:
H You need a 45 millisecond delay. Scan the Intercharacter Delay bar
code. Then scan 0" and 9" on the Programming Chart (09 x 5ms =
45 ms). Two digits are always required for a delay setting.
Intercharacter Delay (x5mS) ]
Interfunction Delay (x5mS) ]
] A twoĆdigit number is required after scanning this programming bar code.
Please scan your selection on the Programming Chart (inside back cover).
Intermessage Delay (x5mS) ]
4–7SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Technical Manual
Reread Delay
This programming selection allows you to set a time period that must pass
before the 3700 Wedge can read the same bar code again. Setting a reread
delay protectsagainst accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays
are effective in minimizing accidental rereads at POS (point of sale) terminals.
Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is
required.
Default = Low (175 milliseconds).
✱ Low (175 milliseconds)
High (1.0 second)
Medium (450 milliseconds)
Extra High (2.0 seconds)
Good Read Delay
This programming selection allows you to set a time period that must pass
before the 3700 Wedge can read another bar code. Some terminals require a
slower read rate. By setting a good read delay, you can ensure a good read.
Default = None.
✱ None
Medium (1.0 second)
Low (500 milliseconds)
High (1.5 second)
Voting
When this selection is enabled, the 3700 Wedge requires multiple identical,
consecutive decodes beforethe bar code datawill be acceptedand transmitted
to the terminal. Default = Disable.

✱ Disable
SCANTEAM 3700 Wedge Technical Manual
Code I.D. Transmit
This programming selection allows you to enable or disable transmission of a
Code I.D. before the decoded bar code symbology. (See the Symbology Chart
on page 4-5 for the single character code that identifies each symbology.)
Default = Disable.
Enable
✱ Disable
AIM I.D. Transmit
This programming selection allows you to enable or disable transmission of an
AIM I.D. before the decoded bar code symbology. (See AIM Guidelines on
Symbology Identifiers for more information on the AIM symbology ID
characters.) Default = Disable.
Enable
✱ Disable
Function Code Transmit
When this programmingselection is enabled, andfunction codes arecontained
within the scanned data, the 3700 Wedge transmits the key code (which
corresponds to the decoded ASCII function code) to the terminal. ASCII
function codes are represented by the HEX values 00-1F. (Charts of these
function codes are shown in Section 7, Supported Interface Keys.)
Default = Enable.
