Read RFID Data

Read and return the specified tag data from the RFID tag located over the RFID

 

antenna. No printer movement occurs while tag data is being read. The printhead can be

 

open or closed.

 

 

 

 

 

Accepted values:

EPC = reads the first 128 bits of EPC data

 

 

memory bank sizes = reads the EPC, TID, and

 

 

USER memory banks sizes. Determines the

 

 

sizes of the EPC, TID, and USER memory

 

 

banks.

 

 

protocol bits = reads the protocol bits from the EPC

 

 

memory banks and converts that value to the

 

 

EPC size

 

 

TID information = reads the first 32 bits of the TID

 

 

(Tag ID)

 

 

password status = reads the tag’s access and kill

 

 

passwords

RFID Test

During the RFID test, the printer attempts to read and write to a transponder. No printer

 

movement occurs with this test.

 

 

Note - Ensure that the RFID tag is positioned over the printer's RFID antenna.

 

 

 

 

Accepted values:

quick = performs a read EPC test and a write EPC

 

 

test (using random data)

 

 

read = performs a read EPC test

 

 

write = performs a write EPC test (using random

 

 

data)
