RFID Guidelines

^WT

^WT

Write Tag

Description This command allows you to program the current RFID tag.

Note • It is recommended that you use the ^RF, ^RM, ^RR, and ^WV commands rather than the ^WT command. The ^WT command is provided only for backward-compatibility with label formats that were developed for other Zebra RFID printers.

Important • Check the amount of data memory available for the tag that you will be using. If more is sent than the memory can hold, the printer truncates the data.

Format ^WTb,r,m,w,f,v

The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
