^RQ

Quick Write EPC Data and Passwords

Description Use this command with an Alien Higgs RFID tag and appropriate firmware to
write the EPC data, access password, and kill password with one command. Doing so reduces
the encoding time.
Format ^RQf,c,o[data]
The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
Important • This command is not supported by all RFID tags, printers, or firmware. See
Printer and Firmware Compatibility onpage 82 for the list of printers and firmware with
which you can use this command.
Note • The access password on the tag to be written to must be 00000000 prior to sending
this command.
