Keyboard Manual
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 28)
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
and 3 is a
;
(semi colon).
The stop character for all three tracks is a
?
(question mark).
Selecting the “No” option for this parameter strips the start/stop
sentinels for each track from the output data.
Default is “Yes”
