Communication Mode/Protocols
There are four Communication Protocols available when transmitting data from the JetSort to
a computer. They are Immediate, Polled, Immed + Lim and Poll + Lim.
Communication
Protocols
Description
Immediate
JetSort initiates all transmissions:
Reports are sent through the communication port as soon as they are
generated whether by keystroke or bag limit warning.
Polled
Receiving computer initiates all transmissions:
The receiving computer must poll the JetSort for data. The JetSort can store
only the last sub-batch or batch. If another batch or sub-batch is started,
the JetSort will push the report through whether or not the computer is
ready to receive it.
Immed + Lim
Totals plus bag limits that were reached are immediately sent upon ending
batch
Poll + Lim
Totals plus bag limits are sent when computer polls JetSort.
There is also a communication option: Acknowledgement.
