This code is used by the scanner for handshaking. This code indicates that a command or a parameter was illegal and not accepted by the scanner.

When the NAK code is returned from the scanner, it means a command error has occurred in the scanner, and the command was ignored. To recover from a command error, resend a legal command or a command followed by a legal parameter.
