*In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is Low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is High, the user can scan bar
codes.
**If Nixdorf Mode B is scanned without the cradle connected to the proper host, the scanner may
appear unable to scan. If this happens, scan a different RS-232 host type within 5 seconds of cycling
power to the cradle.
