*In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is Low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is High, the user can scan bar codes.
**If Nixdorf Mode B is scanned without the digital scanner connected to the proper host, it may appear unable to scan. If this happens, scan a different RS-232
host type within 5 seconds of cycling power to the digital scanner.
