Host ACK Selection
This selection programs the Cordless System to wait for a confirmation signal
(ACK) from the host after bar code data has been sent. The host system may
also be used to generate Escape Commands for user feedback (see section
below). Page 1–11 in the Getting Started Section explains how Host ACK works
and provides an illustration of the feature.
Escape Commands
The Cordless System will respond to beep and blink commands from the host
system. The format for these commands is:
Esc x (where “x” is one of the Escape commands listed below)
The table below lists the Escape commands that may be generated from the host
system and the resulting action(s).

enabling Host ACK selection will cause some or all of your data to be lost.
