Bar Code Terminator Character

Enter and Line Feed, Enter, Line Feed, or None: For some applications, it

may be convenient to end a string of bar code scan data with a terminator

character. For example, with keyboard entry, it is common to have the opera-

tor signify the end of the data input with the “Enter” keystroke. The termina-

tor character serves this function.
