Reader Mode Control
Group 0 commands control reader mode. The mode determines whether the reader is transmitting data to
or receiving data from a host computer or terminal.
00/662 Switch to Data Mode (Factory Default)
!00
Switches the reader to Data Mode, which allows the reader to transmit tag data (ID
codes) to the host. In addition to switching the reader to Data Mode, command
!00
automatically saves to non-volatile memory (NVRAM) any user parameters that had
been changed during the command mode session. The reader enters Data Mode on
power up.
The command
!662
is present for backward compatibility with previous generation
AI1422 readers, and is not recommended for use.
CAUTION
To save user parameter changes to NVRAM, you must send command
!00/!662
before
powering down the reader.
