    2-1 Communication Data Types To control this product by communication commands, the external device transmits request data to the laser marker. After the laser marker receives request data, it transmits the response data to the external device. 2-1-1 Request data The request data is sent from the external device to the laser marker.

  • Page 28: Communication Sequence

    2-2 Communication Sequence The communication sequence of this product mainly consists of the sequence where the laser marker transmits the response data for the (command) data requested from external devices. As an exception, the laser marker transmits the response data automatically if you have set the response permission of the marking end verification (MST) command.
  • Page 29 ⿎ Communication sequence when the marking end verification (MST) command response is enabled The laser marker transmits the response data automatically upon completing the marking trigger processing (at the end of marking) with the response permission setting of the marking end verification (MST) command.
