RTS/CTS Option 3

When Option 3 is selected, the scanner asserts RTS prior to any data transmission,
regardless of the state of CTS. The scanner waits up to 2 seconds (default) for CTS to be
asserted. If CTS is not asserted during this time, the scanner issues an error indication and
discards the data. The scanner de-asserts RTS when transmission is complete.
RTS/CTS Option 3
Software Handshaking
This parameter offers control of the data transmission process in addition to, or instead of,
that offered by hardware handshaking. There are five options.
If Software Handshaking and Hardware Handshaking are both enabled, Hardware
Handshaking takes precedence.

None

When this option is selected, data is transmitted immediately.
