Used to lock some blocks in the RFID Tag.

[LTAG:start,len]

[LTAG:...]

- Lock RFID Tag area

start

start address (Byte)

len

= length (Byte)

Lock a block of the TAG whereby "start" and "len" are bytes. First address in a TAG is " 0 ".

Depending on the tag structure it is only allowed to lock complete blocks, e.g. if the block size is 4 and

LTAG is 2, then the complete block will be locked.

The sample above writes new content to the RFID tag ( [WTAG:0] ) and locks the content in the next

line to avoid that it can be changed.

This function requires that the printer is equipped with the optional cab RFID reader
