SATO 9001147B manual EPC Code Write Designation Command, EPC Code Read Designation Command

EPC CODE WRITE DESIGNATION COMMAND

FUNCTION	Writes EPC code in RFID supply that supports EPC code.
FORMAT	<ESC>IP0n.nnn
PARAMETER	n = Data to be written (16 bytes fixed for 64 bit inlays) or (24 bytes
	fixed for 96 bit inlays).
EXAMPLE	To write 64-bit EPC code “8000 0000 4000 0001” for label issuance in
	RFID supply that supports EPC code:
	<ESC>A
	<ESC>V50<ESC>H50<ESC>BD3020654912345678904
	<ESC>IP08000000040000001
	<ESC>Q1
	<ESC>Z
NOTES	Printing of multiple tags (QTY > 1) is available with this command. If
	data is written to an RFID tag, labels are printed after sent EPC data
	and encoded EPC data are automatically checked.
	If EPC code writing could not be carried out (i.e. bad tag), a tag error
	label is printed and an output is sent via EXT Port, PIN 3.
	Data other than 0 to 9 and A to F will be considered a command error.
	If used without print data, this command will not cause a label to feed
	in the case of a successful tag encode.

EPC CODE READ DESIGNATION COMMAND

FUNCTION	Reads information of RFID supply supporting EPC code.
FORMAT	<ESC>IP1
RETURN STATUS	STX (02H) . EPC code . ETX (03H)
FORMAT
RETURN STATUS LIST	STX (02H) = Starting code: 1 byte.
	EPC Code = EPC Code; 16 bytes fixed.
	ETX (03H) = Ending code: 1 byte fixed.
EXAMPLE	<ESC>A<ESC>IP1<ESC>Z
	If “8000 0000 4000 0001” is recorded in RFID supply that supply that
	supports EPC code:
	02 = Starting code
	38 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 34 30 30 30 30 30 30 31 EPC
	03 = Ending code.
	NOTE: In actuality, all data is continuous without spaces.
NOTES	This command cannot be combined with another command to
	designate.
	This command cannot be received during printing.
	If the connection is closed before all status’ are returned to the host, the
	tag data will not be correctly returned.
