Terminator
The Terminator is a command that follows after the bar code data.
Four different terminators can be selected here: “Enter”, “Return (on
numeric keypad)”, “Field Exit or Right Control”, or “None”. To define
a different terminator, use the “Data Editing” function (see page 16).
Default is “Enter”.
Send Start/Stop Sentinel
Each magnetic stripe track begins with a start character and ends
with a stop character (and an LRC character).
The start character for track 1 is a % (percent sign), and for tracks 2
