After you change these parameters, all packets, including
any future configuration packets, must use the new control
characters. Pitney Bowes recommends using the tilde and
ASCII character code sequence when sending this record
multiple times. You must send record E to enable the
immediate commands. An immediate command will
execute immediately, even if it is embedded within
quotation marks, and all data following the command in the
string will be ignored. Pitney Bowes also recommends that
you set the packet delimiters to characters within the 21
hex to 7E hex range.
