Information byte:

This byte has meaning only when the Valid bit is set to 0 and indicates the difference between the transfer length or assigned length specified with a command and the actual data length required by the scanner. The value entered here is calculated using the following formula.

Information byte = transfer length - actual data length (assigned length)

(The data byte length is 0 when a negative value is specified.)

Sense keys:

The Initiator can determine the causes of scanner errors by monitoring the sense keys.
