rfid.tag.test

11/14/2008 RFID Programming Guide 58978L-008 Rev. A

rfid.tag.test

Description This command performs an RFID test. In the RFID test, the printer attempts to

read and write to a transponder that you place over the RFID antenna. Results are displayed on

the printer’s control panel display. To locate the RFID antenna on your printer, see RFID

Antenna Location on page 39.

In the slow version of the RFID test, the printer first displays the hardware version, the reader

firmware version, and the program position.

Type setvar

This table identifies the command for this format:

Note • This command is valid only on RP4T printers.

Commands Details

setvar This command instructs the printer to set the programming position.

Format: ! U1 setvar "rfid.tag.test" "value"

Valu es :

quick

slow

Example • This setvar example performs a quick RFID test, which shows a pass or fail

message.

! U1 setvar "rfid.tag.test" "quick"

Example • This setvar example performs a slow RFID test, which shows the success or

failure of each read or write tag operation.

! U1 setvar "rfid.tag.test" "slow"
