2-5 Communication Data Format Use the ASCII code basically and the shift-JIS code partially as characters for communication when controlling the laser marker by external device. The characters (or character strings) enclosed with double quotation marks (“ ”) in the description below indicates that they uses the ASCII code.
Page 29: Response Data
2-5-2 Response data Response data is data which is returned from the laser marker for the command sent by an external device and consists of the following three types. 1. Response data for normal receiving The data starts with the start code “ACK”. It returns when the command transmitted is normal or the command processing has been completed normally.
Page 30 ■ Response data format for abnormal receiving Delimiter Start code Response code Check sum Two characters/ Single character Two characters Two characters Single character Head Code Description Start code NAK: 15 (HEX) fixed. A start code is a code to identify the data head and to indicate that the data is a response data for abnormal receiving.

Page 32: Communication Sequence
2-6 Communication Sequence The communication sequence of this product mainly consists of the sequence where the laser marker transmits the response data for the (command) data requested from external devices. As an exception, the laser marker transmits the response data automatically if you have set the response permission of the marking end verification (MST) command.
Page 33 ■ Communication sequence at transmission prohibition/permission for marking status Generally in the communication sequence, “the laser marker returns the response to the command from external device”. However, the marking operation (mark end or warning under some marking conditions) timing of the laser marker can be checked from the laser marker when the Marking Status Sending Enable is set to on (“Marking status transmission permission: MST”...
