1^XA Indicates start of label format.
2^RS8 Sets tag type to Gen 2
3^FO50,50
^A0N,40
^FN0
^FS
^FN0 is a placeholder field variable for the tag data
that will be read in the following line. When the label
prints, the data read from the tag will be printed at
location 50,50.
4^FN0
^RFR,H
^FS
R,H = read hexadecimal
The read results are put into field variable 0 (^FN0).
At this point, the printer substitutes previous
instances of ^FN0 in the label format with the data
from this field. The data read from the tag will be
padded with zeroes to the maximum bit size.
5^XZ Indicates end of label format.
