Function Code Transmit
By default, all ASCII control characters are transmitted with barcode data. These 
non-printable characters are translated into predefined key strokes, or CTRL+X 
functions (see ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), beginning on page 300). 
If these key strokes interfere with your host’s software application, scan Disable to 
keep these ASCII control characters from being transmitted. Default = Enable.
Note: You can also use a custom data format (see Data Format beginning on page 131) to 
translate these characters into a more meaningful output.
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.
Intercharacter Delay
An intercharacter delay of up to 5000 milliseconds (in 5ms increments) may be 
placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data. Scan the 
Intercharacter Delay barcode below, then scan the number of 5ms delays from the 
Programming Chart, beginning on page 311, then Save.
