*In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled.
**If Nixdorf Mode B is scanned without the scanner connected to the proper host, the scanner may
not be able to scan. If this happens, scan a different RS-232 host type within 5 seconds of cycling
power to the scanner.
