Version Number Inquiry Message (Tran Type 36-06)
Simplify supports a Version Number Inquiry message from the POS. The POS can send this message to the device when it wants to check information about its Simplify implementation.
The Version Number Inquiry request does not contain API 5001. The only fields are API 0001 (Tran Type = 36) and API 0011. Upon receipt of the Version Number Inquiry request, Simplify will send a Version Number Inquiry response containing Simplify Program, Parameter and Build version numbers in API 5001 and additional Simplify load information in API 5070.
Note: This message will take the screen to IDLE state on all non-financial transactions.
