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 Intercharac- ter Delay bar code below, then scan the number of milliseconds and the SAVE bar code using the Programming Chart on page B-5of 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 on page B-5 of this manual.

Intercharacter delays are not supported in USB serial emulation.
