*In the Nixdorf Mode B or OPOS/JPOS, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high,
scanning is enabled.
**If you scan Nixdorf Mode B or OPOS/JPOS without connecting the digital scanner 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.
