RTS and Clear to Send CTS Standard RTS CTS If Standard RTS CTS handshaking is selected scanned data is transmitted according to the following sequence The CTS line must initially be deasserted by the host If the imager detects that CTS is asserted indicating that the host may still be receiving a previous transmission the imager waits up to 2 seconds for the host to deassert the CTS line If after 2 seconds default the CTS line is still asserted the imager sounds a transmit error and any scanned data is lost When the CTS line is deasserted the imager asserts the RTS line and waits up to 2 seconds for the host to assert CTS When the host asserts CTS the imager transmits the data If after 2 seconds default the CTS line is not asserted the imager sounds a transmit error and discards the data 2 79 M VS 4000 Series Product Reference Guide 7 When data transmission is complete the imager deasserts RTS 10 msec after sending the last character The host responds by deasserting CTS The imager checks for a deasserted CTS upon the next transmission of data During data transmission the CTS line is asserted If CTS is asserted for less than 50 ms between characters the transmission is aborted the imager sounds a transmission error and the data is discarded If the previous communications sequence fails the imager issues an error beep In this case the data is lost and must be rescanned Note The
