In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled.
If you scan Nixdorf Mode B without connecting the decoder to the proper host, it may appear
unable to scan. If this happens, scan a different serial host type within 5 seconds of cycling power
to the decoder.
The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select
CUTE, scan
*Enable Parameter Scanning (01h) on page 6-6
, then change the host selection.
