One Char Enquiry

The One Char Enquiry mode uses the Poll Character to detect a request from
the host and sends a response back to the host. This option also allows you to
turn on and off this feature.

The Poll Character is removed from the data stream. If the Data Protocol is
set to ETX/ACK, ACK/NAK, or Series 1, One Char Enquiry is automatically
disabled.
