Here are some rules and useful tips for creating messages (one or more commands per message):
•
•A message with multiple commands is legal and useful. For example, the command “@1,1,0, PLEASE ENTER@2,1,1,QTY” would display PLEASE ENTER on line 1, display QTY on line 2, and then wait for data input. All 6 lines can be filled with one message.
•Messages can be a combination of multiple commands, (i.e. voice messages, initialization, clearing lines, requesting data entry), up to 231 characters in length. A message cannot though, contain an @S command in combination with any other command. A message also should not contain more than 1 request for data entry (third character in command is 1). For example:
@1,1,1,ITEM@2,1,1,QTY
has two data entry “prompt” commands combined. If this message were sent to the RF Terminal, the first data entry prompt (@1,1,1,ITEM) would be executed, but any and all commands after the first data entry prompt in that statement would be ignored without warning – there will be no display or indication of an illegal command.
