Same buffer limit
Default is 32 ms. Raise or lower this value as desired.
Delay between (key) buffers
Specifies the number of milliseconds to delay after each character in the scanned bar code is processed as a key-
stroke. This value may need to be adjusted depending on the network traffic in the environment. The default
value is 75 ms. Valid value is from 0 to 9999. A zero value is No Delay between characters.

Length Based Bar Code Stripping
Use this procedure to create symbology rules for two bar codes with the same symbology but with different discrete
lengths. This procedure is not applicable for bar codes with variable lengths (falling between a maximum value and a
minimum value).
Example
For the purposes of this example, the following sample bar code parameters will be used – EAN 128 and Code
128 bar codes. Some of the bar codes start with ‘00’ and some start with ‘01’. The bar codes are different
lengths.
34 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 18)
26 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 10)
24 character length with first two characters = “01” (strip first 2 and last 8). This 24 character bar code is Code
128.
20 character length with first two characters = “00” (strip first 0 (no characters) and last 4)
On the Data Options tab, set Enable Code ID to Custom.
Create four custom IDs, using 1 for EAN 128 bar code and 0 for Code 128 bar code.
c1 = Code = ‘]C1’
c2 = Code = ‘]C1’
c3 = Code = ‘]C0’ (24 character bar code is Code 128)
c4 = Code = ‘]C1’
