^RS – RFID Setup

The format for the ^RS instruction is: ^RSt,#

where

t = tag type

Default value: 0 –NONE (No tags available) Other values:

1- Auto detect (automatically determine the tag type, by querying the tag)

2- Texas Instruments Tag-it™ tags

3- Philips I•Code tags

4- Inside Technologies Picotag® 2K

5- ISO 15693 tag*

#= read/write position of transponder in rows of dots Set to 0 (zero) to not move the media.

Default value: Label length minus eight dot rows (one millimeter)

Other values: 0 (zero) to label length

Use caution when using this function in combination with ^RI (reading the unique ID number) or ^RT (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, ticket or tag.

*ISO-15693 is an international standard for 13.56 MHz RFID devices. As this is a public standard, tags and integrated circuits may be produced by a wide variety of manufacturers. The current standard stipulates that manufacturers may configure memory in various ways ( up to 256 blocks comprising a block size up to 256 bits (32 bytes)). The standard also stipulates that a manufacturer may, or may not, use the recommend methods of reading and writing to the tag as stipulated in the standard. For these reasons, the R402 may not be compatible with every manufacturers ISO-15693 transponders. Contact your technical support representative for the latest list of supported ISO-15693 transponders.
