ACK positive acknowledge character

Scanning ACK activates the ACK/NAK protocol.

After a successful message transmission, the MicroBar NX waits until the end of the
protocol timeout before reading a new bar code (

Hardware/software protocols timeout

above in this section). If there is no positive acknowledge (ACK) before the end of the
specified timeout, the MicroBar NX emits 6 error beeps.

Not Used (*)

ACK (HEX 06)

To use a different character for ACK:

1. Scan Compose Other ACK Character.

2. Scan the desired character code (

ASCII character codes).
