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 may be placed between the
transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Intercharacter
Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds 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 may be placed after the trans-
mission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar
code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the Save bar code using
the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
