Intercharacter, Interfunction, and Intermessage Delays
Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly. Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage
delays slow the transmission of data, increasing data integrity.
Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 327675 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed between the transmission of each
character of scanned data. Scan the following Intercharacter Delay bar code, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and
the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
To remove this delay, scan the Intercharacter Delay bar code, then set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code
using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Note: Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 327675 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be placed after the transmission of a partic-
ular character of scanned data. Scan the following Delay Length bar code, then scan the number of 5ms delays, and the
Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
Next, scan the Character to Trigger Delay bar code, then the 2-digit hex value for a printable character to trigger the delay
(see Lower ASCII Reference Table on page A-3).
To remove this delay, scan the Delay Length bar code, and set the number of delays to 0. Scan the Save bar code using
the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
