A ^Z is 26 decimal or 1A hex. But I think you want to send a ^D (4)
to indicate a UNIX EOF. (You can change this with stty.)

I got to thinking about this and there may be an easy fix for this. Take a look at the data being sent and see if they are sending a ^Z at the end of each "page". If so, you can probably use stty to change the EOF to ^Z instead of ^D. You will probably have to change the suspend character first from ^Z to something else. (I have only tested it on the local tty and only with changing eof...)

stty -F <device> susp ^Y ; stty -F <device> eof ^Z
 or
stty -F <device> susp ^Y eof ^Z
