Some terminals drop information (characters) if data comes through too quickly.
Intercharacter, interfunction, and intermessage delays slow the transmission of
data, which increases data integrity.
Intercharacter Delay:
An intercharacter delay is a delay of up to 9999 milliseconds (in multiples of 5)
which is placed between the transmission of each character of scanned data.

An intermessage delay is a delay of up to 9999 milliseconds (in multiples of 5)
which is placed between each data transmission.
