Reader response:
Done
Caution
Do not switch to ECP (command #611 Select Error Correcting Protocol) unless 
the host is prepared to acknowledge each reader transmission.
612NN   Select Error Correcting Protocol Timeout
Command #612NN selects the timeout interval for ECP. This timeout applies to the 
transmission of tag, report, and error messages and to the receipt of host commands. 
The transmit timeout is initiated immediately after the end-of-message sequence CR/
LF is transmitted. If the host does not acknowledge the message within the specified 
interval, the reader times out and retransmits the message.
The receive timeout is initiated upon receipt of the start-of-message character (#). If 
the end-of-message character (CR) is not received within the specified interval, the 
reader discards the partially received message and resets its receiver.
Uppercase or lowercase characters are allowed for NN; for example, hex digits A 
through F or a through f.
The value for NN specifies the timeout interval as follows:
ms
50 * NN for NN = 01 to FE (1–254)
FE
Factory default (12,700 ms, 12.7 seconds)
FF
Disables the ECP timeout
Note:  The actual value of the ECP timeout may vary depending on the operative tag 
read mode and the type of tag in the read field.

614N   Select Flow Control Option
Command #614N selects the flow control option for reader-to-host communications. 
The factory default setting is software flow control (XON/XOFF) enabled. In down-
load mode, flow control is not host-selectable; it is fixed at the default setting. How-
ever, during data mode and command mode operation, the following flow control 
options are available. The N variable specifies flow control as shown in
