Bar Code Terminator Character
Enter (CRLF), Return (CR), Field Exit (LF), or None: For some applica- tions, it may be convenient to end a string of bar code scan data with a terminator character. For example, with keyboard entry, it is common to have the operator signify the end of the data input with the “Enter” keystroke. The terminator character serves this function.

Bar Code Preamble
0 to 16 ASCII characters: The bar code preamble is a string of charac- ters that can be added to the beginning of scanned bar code data. These can be special characters for identifying a specific scanning station, to format a message header expected by the receiving host, or a function key from the Function Code Tables in Appendix A.
