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
An intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the Inter- character Delay bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps

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 DelayAn intercharacter delay of up to 495 milliseconds (in 5 ms steps) may be placed after the transmission of a particular character of scanned data. Scan the Delay Length bar code below, then scan the number of 5 millisecond steps (0- 99), and the Save bar code using the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual.
