STX K}Q Quick Media Calibration

(Non-Display Models only)

This command causes the printer to move media, sample, and then save sensor samples as
calibration values. This calibration function should be performed with media installed in the
printer. Depending upon the printer model, different front panel LED flash sequences and printer
responses (below) will indicate calibration progress and outcome; see the corresponding printer
operator manual for LED flash sequences details.

Read Data from RFID Tag

(Direct Mode – Generic Read/Write Interface)

This command instructs the RFID device to read data from the tag and then place that data into a
replaceable field. It is expected that the tag transponder will be within the read / write distance of the
RFID programming device; otherwise, “Void” will be printed in the text or bar code label field.

Syntax:

<STX>KaRAaaabbbcdee<CR>

Where:

A

- Optional – for data in the ASCII format.

aaa

- The number of bytes to read.

bbb

- HF - Starting block number (000  maximum block number).*

UHF – Should be 000.

c

- Command 1. Reserved. Should be 0.

d

- Command 2. Reserved. Should be 0.

ee

- Field number in which to place the data (must be 01, 02, 03, etc.)

matching the order of Label Formatting command U.

Note: The 00 value will send read data to the host with no printing.

Sample:

<STX>L
1911A1802000010TEXT
U
X
<STX>KaR0000010001
<STX>G

The sample creates a replaceable text field (01), recalls data from the RFID tag block zero (reading
only one block), and prints the data in the location specified by the replaceable field. Since there are
two digits per each hex value, replaceable fields should be twice as long than if using ASCII data
(e.g., the character “A” would be returned as “41”).

* Dependent upon transponder manufacturer.
