D-4 Host Port Protocol
•Note: In all protocol modes, the preamble <K141> and postamble <K142> character strings can be used to frame the
decode data, and both are included in calculating the LRC (Longitudinal Redundancy Check).
Usage: In general, the point-to-point protocols will work well in most applications.
They require no address and must use RS-232 communications standards.
Definition: Protocols define the sequence and format in which information is transferred
between the reader and the host.

Default: Point-to-Point
Options: 0 = Point-to-Point
4 = ACK/NAK

host whenever it is available, without a request or handshake from the host.
