Scanning Barcodes while Scale is Live Updating

Hello, I am using the Magellan 9800i Scale / Scanner, in the single-cable mode with STX and ETX mode enabled.

Using the JPos examples on Github I am claiming both the scanner and the scale at the same time, with the scale giving me live weight updates.

When I scan several barcodes in a row, there is occasionally a point where it delivers what looks like a partial barcode, and at the same time the scale throws an exception in the code.

I have a feeling that the scale and scanner are sending data at the same time and since it is in a single cable mode that their messages are getting improperly overlaid on each other.

Is there a way to effectively keep their messages separate so they don’t overlap? Or is there some other portential cause for this that i’ve overlooked?

Thanks.
