Write Tag

motion Set this flag to 1 to read data from the tag without moving the label. The printer may adjust the label position while it reads data from the tag, but this adjustment will reverse before any subsequent normal label movement. Even if this flag is set to 1, other commands (i.e., alpha or barcode) may move the label.

The default is 0.

reserved This is a reserved flag. The PPI1 absorbs this number.

Write Tag command.

start

Starting block location where data will be

 

programmed into the RFID tag. The PPI1

 

only supports Alien Technology Class 1a

Therefore, start will be set to 0,

 

regardless of the specified value.

retries

The number of automatic attempts to

 

write data into the tag if previous writes

 

failed. The PPI1 absorbs the number and

 

uses the value on the control panel’s

 

LCD.

motion

Set this flag to 1 to program data into the

 

tag without moving the label. The printer

 

may adjust the label position while it

 

writes data into the tag, but this

 

adjustment will reverse before any
