Response format:
<A;B;C;D;E;F>[CR]
Where:
A
- Device type:
R = RFID
S = Scanner
B
- Resulting status:
C = entire label complete
F = faulted (failed) label
U = unknown
C
- The number of expected reads for bar codes or tags,
given in two characters.
D
- The number of good reads for bar codes or tags, given in
two characters.
E
- The printer’s internal Job Identifier and Sub Job
Identifier, given in four characters each.
F
- The data read, delimited with semicolons (;) if multiple
reads.
RFID response sample differences: Since RFID commands vary in operation, the
data returned also differs. Write commands return entire tag data; Write/Verify
commands return the data written; and, Read commands return data and length
requested in the specified format. (See Appendix S for a listing of commands.)
Write response example:
<R;C;00;00;0013:0001>[CR]
Write/Verify hexadecimal response example:
<R;C;01;01;0012:0001;446174616D61782077726974657320524649442062657374>
[CR]
Read hexadecimal response example:
<R;C;01;01;0013:0001;446174616D61782077726974657320524649442062657374>
[CR]
Write/Verify ASCII response example:
<R;C;01;01;0012:0001; Datamax writes RFID best >[CR]
Read ASCII response example:
<R;C;01;01;0013:0001; Datamax writes RFID best >[CR]
Scanner response samples:
A successfully read label example:
<S;C;03;03;0002:0001;DATA1;DATA2;DATA3>[CR]
A failed label, successfully retried:
<S;F;02;01;0002:0001;DATA1>[CR]
<S;C;02;02;0002:0001;DATA1;DATA2>[CR]
