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.
Each delay is composed of a 5 millisecond step. You can program up to 99
steps (of 5 ms each) for a range of 0-495 ms.
Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed
between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the
Inter-
character Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps
(0-99), 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 steps 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 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed
after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the
Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0-
99), and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover
of this manual.
