Parity Selection
The parity of the transmitted data may be configured as odd, even, 0’s
(space) or 1’s (mark).
Data Bits
Data bits are set to seven and are not configurable.
Stop Bits
One or two stop bits may be transmitted at the end of each character.
Intercharacter Delay
A delay time can be inserted between transmitted characters. If the
intercharacter delay is disabled, then there will be no delay between
characters. If the delay is enabled, then the delay period, configured
independently, specifies the number of milliseconds that elapses between the
completed transmission of one character and the beginning of transmission of
the next.
The default delay time is 20 ms. Delay time is set using the Intercharacter
Delay Time escape sequence or by scanning configuration bar code symbols.

* Default
① Default Delay is 20 ms. Any other delay time must be using the Interchanger Character Delay
Time escape sequence or the Dely = configuration bar code symbol.
The default value of <n> is 6, 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, 0’s parity, and the
intercharacter delay disabled.
