In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled.
If you scan Nixdorf Mode B without connecting the digital scanner to the proper host, it may appear unable to
scan. If this happens, scan a different RS-232 host type within 5 seconds of cycling power to the digital scanner.
