    If the product is supplied by a battery with an energy-saver mechanism, this energy- saver mechanism is suspended during the ESA session until the product receives a PRC command. How to Use the ESA Command The host must send the ESA command repeatedly with each RS-232 parameter in the order shown in Table 4-16 until the 1555 responds with a low-level ACK character, unless the RS-232 communication parameters in the product are already known.

For example: If synchronization between the host and reader was achieved at "9600,7,E,1", but the host issues an ESA command with a requested baud rate of 19200, then it is necessary for the host to change communications parameters to "19200,8,N,2", not "19200,7,E,1".
