Response Block

With the exception of the CCR response, all responses from the scanner to
the master are in the form of a response block. The response is always
structured as follows:

ETX

Checksum

STX

(02)

Response

Block Seq

Count (03)

response buffer

Response

Data Buffer

Size

Code

Response Data

Command:

Description:

STX (start of text)

the first byte of the control block (02 hex).

Response block sequence count

Response block sequence count (0 to 7F hex).

Response buffer size

Number of bytes to follow in the response buffer.

The buffer includes all bytes between this buffer

size byte and the ETX.

Response code

This byte contains the scanner's reaction to the

previous master's command in the form of a

response code. Table A.C outlines the response

code possibilities.

Response data

The response data includes response parameters

associated with the previous command as received

from the master. When the response data contains

data in word format, the lower byte is sent first.

Important:

The scanner can send multiple

responses in one response buffer provided that

each response has all necessary parameters.

ETX (End of text)

Following the response data buffer is the ETX code

(03 hex).

Checksum

The last byte is a checksum which adds from the

STX (02) through ETX (03) inclusively.
