Code 128 Append
This function allows the scanner to append the data from several Code 128 
bar codes together before transmitting them to the host computer.  When 
the scanner encounters a Code 128 bar code with the append trigger char-
acter(s), it buffers Code 128 bar codes until it reads a Code 128 bar code
