b) BUSY/READY
The scanner and the host computer notify each other of their state and 
whether they can receive data with BUSY/READY through an RTS line. They 
can communicate state to each other through a CTS line when
connected as
in the following figure.
Figure 12: Busy/Ready communication
The scanner stays ON (is able to receive data) except during certain parts of 
the process, such as receiving data (buzzer command execution), transmitting 
data, and menu processing. The scanner checks the CTS line before 
transmitting data. When it is ON, the scanner transmits data. When it is OFF, 
the scanner waits for it to turn ON within a set time. The scanner will abort 
transmission with an error indication (buzzer) when the CTS line is not ON 
within a specified period. The Flow Control time-outs are as follows, and the 
default setting is “indefinitely“ (I0).
