38 Xenon/Granit User Guide
XON/XOFF
Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending 
data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host 
sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops. 
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data 
transmission continues where it left off when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF 
Off.
ACK/NAK
After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK 
character (hex 15) response from the host. If ACK is received, the communications 
cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is received, the 
last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. 
Turn on the ACK/NAK protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To 
turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK Off.
Scanner to Bioptic Communication
The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scan-
ners and bioptic scanners. 
Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 timeout must be set to 
3000 in order to communicate with a bioptic scanner. See  "RS232 Modifiers" on page 
34, and RS232 Timeout on page 37 for further information.
