Label Formatting Mode
Label Formatting Mode utilizes the current printer configuration to process all reading, writing, and
exception processing for each tag printed. (For exception processing and fault handling, see the
<STX>KcFH
command.) The specification for RFID programming is contained in the data fields of the
DPL label format, which instructs the printer to write and read data. Two Label Formatting Modes for
RFID are available. While each supports auto increment and decrement commands for numeric (+/-),
alphanumeric (>/<), or hexadecimal ((/)) data, they differ when a byte count specifier is added. Both
RFID Label Formatting commands are detailed below.
Note: Up to six RFID operations per label are allowed.
Wx / W1x: RFID
Syntax for RFID (spaces shown for readability):
a bbb c d eee ffff gggg jj…j
Where:
Field Valid Inputs Meaning
a
1, 2, and 3
Operation to perform, where:
1 = Read (report to host)
2 = Write
3 = Write w/ Read back and Verify
bbb
Wnx
RFID Hexadecimal Operation, where no ‘
n
’ is an implied 1.
c
0 Not Used, should be 0
d
0 Not Used, should be 0
HF:
Lock after write, where:
x = 0 – Use printer setup to determine if lock is performed.
x = 1 – Lock after write.
yy = Not Used
UHF EPC Gen2:
Lock after write, where:
x = 0 – Use printer setup to determine if lock is performed.
x = 1 – Lock after write.
yy = Lock state where “01”is permalock, “10” is pwd-write
lock or “11” is both states
eee
xyy
UHF other tag types:
Not Used, should be 000
