FAMILY A Data Management Preamble and Postambles Character strings can be transmitted by the reader before each message as a preamble, or after each message as a postamble. Preambles and Postambles can be used as control codes. A total of 10 characters may be entered for each preambles and/or postambles.
FAMILY A Data Management Intercharacter Delay In some terminals or RS-232 systems, the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted by the reader is affected by the response of the system. By the insertion of an intercharacter delay, the reader can avoid dropping characters, if it is transmitting decoded data too rapidly.
FAMILY A Data Management Rolling Buffer and Intermessage Delay When codes are scanned faster than the host system can accept data, messages are spooled in the reader's "Rolling Buffer" on a first in first out basis. The intermessage delay is used to slow the rate at which successive records are transmitted to the host.

FAMILY I Advanced Features Delay Character The reader can recognize a selected full ASCII character, appearing in a bar code or in the data stream from an RS-232 device as requiring the insertion of a delay in the transmission of data to the host system. This may be useful following transmission of a control code to the host, requiring a response from the host before transmission of the next character.
FAMILY I Advanced Features Delay Character ( continued ) 10 Sec Duration Character Substitution/Deletion For each selection, scan a character from the full ASCII chart located in the Appendix, then scan the character to be systematically transmitted in its place. To delete the character whenever it appears, scan (Hex 7F) located in the Full ASCII chart.
Page 124
FAMILY I Advanced Features RS-232 Trigger The reader can be triggered when it receives a designated RS- 232 character from the host. By scanning an ASCII character you define the reader as a RS-232 trigger, when the character is received from the host the reader will turn on. CTS Trigger By scanning Low Level Active or High Level Active, you define the CTS trigger.
Page 125
FAMILY I Advanced Features Character Masking and Reordering This facility allows the user to reformat data scanned by the reader before it is transmitted to the host. It can be used to delete characters in certain positions in the label, add user defined characters, and to reorder the data.
