Normal response (acknowledge)

 

Format:

B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 A5

ASCII:

ACK

Decimal:

6

 

Hexadecimal: 06

Explanation:

This code is used by both the scanner and computer for handshaking. This code indicates that a command, a set of parameters, or a data block was legal and accepted by the receiving device.

The computer should always send an ACK code in response to a data block sent from the scanner, except after the last data block of a page of image data. If the computer fails to send an ACK code within 30 seconds, an interface error occurs in the scanner.

Note:

The ACK code shown here is the ASCII code for 06H. The ACK code does not refer to the ACKNLG signal line of the interface.
