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.

3000 in order to communicate with a bioptic scanner. See
27, and
Scanner-Bioptic Packet Mode
Packet Mode On must be scanned to set the scanner's format so it is compatible
with a bioptic scanner. Default = Packet Mode Off.
