measured from one attempt start to the next attempt start. After one half hour, the
scanner powers off.
Host Acknowledgment
Some applications require that the host terminal (or server) validate incoming
barcode data (database look-up) and provide acknowledgment to the scanner
whether or not to proceed. In Host ACK Mode, the scanner waits for this
acknowledgment after each scan. Visual and audible acknowledgments provide
valuable feedback to the scan operator. The Host ACK functionality is controlled via
a number of pre-defined escape commands that are sent to the scanner to make it
behave in different ways.
Note: System performance degrades when using Host ACK at rates lower than 9600 baud.
The following criteria must be met for the Host ACK to work correctly:
•
•
•
•

Escape commands are addressed to the scanner via "Application Work Groups."
Once a command is sent, all scanners in a group respond to that command.
Because of this, it is recommended that each scanner is assigned to its own group
in Host ACK mode.
