^RS

RFID Setup

Description This command sets up parameters including tag type, read/write position of the transponder, and error handling.

Important • Use care when using this command in combination with ^RT or ^RFR for reading tag data. Problems can occur if the data read from the tag is going to be printed on the label. Any data read from the transponder must be positioned to be printed above the read/write position. Failure to do this will prevent read data from being printed on the label.

Format ^RSt,p,v,n,e,a,c,s

The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
