Following is a description of the individual bits and bytes.

Valid:

When set to 0, this bit indicates that the data in the data byte is invalid. When set to 1, the data is valid.

ILI:

This is the illegal length bit. When set to 1, this bit indicates that the transfer length or assigned length specified with a command is not the same as the actual data length required by the scanner.
