Host Specific

Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type. Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the
highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs more than once. The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where power to the scanner is cycled on and
off more than once. This is normal and usually happens when the host cold boots.
RS-232 only
1 short high beep A <BEL> character is received and Beep on <BEL> is enabled.
