RS-232 Host Parameters
Various RS-232 hosts use their own parameter default settings. Selecting standard, ICL, Fujitsu,
Wincor-Nixdorf Mode A, Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, OPOS/JPOS, Olivetti, Omron, Common Use Terminal
Equipment (CUTE-LP/LG bar code readers), NCR, or Datalogic sets the defaults listed in Table 2-2 and Table
2-3.

In the Wincor-Nixdorf Mode B, if CTS is low, scanning is disabled. When CTS is high, scanning is enabled.
If you scan Wincor-Nixdorf 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 seconds 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 Bar Code Scanning (located in the
