W,H = write hex
Encodes 12 bytes of data (96 bits) to the tag with
7 bytes of zeroes as padding. The data written is:

R,H = read hexadecimal
Reads the tag data into field variable 3 (
^FN3
).
After this occurs, any fields in this label format that
have

^FN3
will be replaced with this read data.

^HV3
Returns the value in
^FN3
to the host computer.
Data is sent over whichever communication channel
is established with the host (such as parallel, serial,
USB, Ethernet). In this example,
010203040500000000000000 would be returned to
the host.
