Handshaking Control
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the 
hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Handshaking 
Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during t
ransmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during tran
smissions. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF  — RTS is asserted during t
ransmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and XOFF 
gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always ass
erted. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/CTS Scan Control  — RTS is asserted during transmissions. 
CTS gates transmissions 
and controls enable and disable state of scanner.
