Chapter 3 RFID PPI1 Commands

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.

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

Comments

This command is only executed by the demand for data from any dynamic field. The PPI1 absorbs this command if there are no demands for the data.

Write Tag

Purpose This command programs data into an RFID tag (embedded in the smart label).

Format ^WT start, retries, motion, protect, reserved

^WT	Write Tag command.
start	Starting block location where data will be
	programmed into the RFID tag. The PPI1
	only supports Alien Technology Class 1a
	tags, which have only one 8–byte block.
	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
	subsequent normal label movement.
