Host Ack On/Off; Host Ack Timeout; Host Ack Responses - Honeywell ORBIT 7120PLUS User Manual

host ACK sequence is received, or the timeout expires (in 10 seconds, by default).

A time-out occurs if the scanner does not receive a valid escape command within

was not received.

The scanner reads the code and sends data to the host system. No audible or
visual indication is emitted until the scanner receives an escape command. The
scanner read illumination goes out when there's a successful read.
Scanner operation is suspended until 1) a valid escape string is received from
the host system or 2) the scanner times out.
Once condition 1 or 2 above has been met, the scanner is ready to scan again,
and the process repeats.
