Modem Link
As soon as power is supplied to the scan engine, the scan engine’s RTS line is OFF. When the
scan engine wants to transmit data to the host, it turns the RTS line ON. When the host is ready
to receive data, it responds with CTS ON. While the host CTS line is ON, the scan engine is
allowed to transmit data. When all data has been transmitted, the scan engine turns the RTS
line OFF. In response, the host turns the scan engine’s CTS line OFF. While the RTS line is
ON, if the CTS line is not ON for a certain configurable period, the scan engine ends the
transmission and uses the buzzer to indicate an error.

ACK/NAK Control
In ACK/NAK mode, the scan engine transmits data and expects to receive a specific response
from the host.
ACK/NAK Host Responses
Response
Description
"ACK" (ASCII:0x06)
The scan engine terminates transmission with the good read buzzer.
"NAK" (ASCII:0x15)
The scan engine sends the data again.
"DC1" (ASCII:0x11)
The scan engine terminates transmission without the good read or error buzzer.
Timeout
If there is no response within 1 second, the scan engine terminates
transmission with the error buzzer.
