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.
