Special Protocol

Specifies a custom ACK/NAK protocol to communicate with a host.

The ACK character is sent by the host to acknowledge the receipt of
a message. The Reader holds the last transmitted message until
receiving an ACK. The NAK character is sent by the host when a
message is not received, prompting the decoder to resend the
message.

ACK

Enter the decimal equivalent value of an ASCII character from
0 - 255. See Appendix A.

used when using APM protocol to configure a Reader (see Scanner
Protocol on page 8–6). The default is disabled.

Transmission Check

Specifies the type of transmission check bytes sent with each
message. Use transmission checks to verify that messages have been
correctly received by the Reader or host device. Appendix D
