1 In the Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled. If you scan Nixdor Mode B without connecting the digital scanner to the proper host, it may appear unable to scan. if this happens, scan a different RS-232 host type within 5 sec. of cycling power to the digital scanner. The CUTE host disables all parameter scanning, including Set Defaults. If you inadvertently select CUTE, scan Enable Parameter Barcode Scanning (1), then change the host selection.
