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).
Intercharacter Delay
Note: This selection is valid for keyboard wedge interfaces only.
This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed between the
transmission of each character of scanned data. You can program up to 99 steps
(of 5 ms each). Scan the
Intercharacter Delay
bar code below, then scan the
number of steps, and the
Save
bar code from the inside back cover.
Note:
If you make an error while scanning the digits (before scanning Save),
scan
Discard
on the back cover and scan the correct digits and
Save
again.
To remove this delay, scan the
Intercharacter Delay
bar code, then set the
number of steps to 00. Scan the
Save
bar code from the inside back cover.
User Specified Intercharacter Delay
Note: This selection is valid for keyboard wedge interfaces only.
This is a delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in multiples of 5) placed after the
transmission of a particular character of scanned data. You can program up to
99 steps (of 5 ms each) to follow the character you specify. Scan the
Delay
Length
bar code below, then scan the number of steps for the delay, and the
Save
bar code from the inside back cover.
