EPC CODE WRITE DESIGNATION COMMAND
FUNCTION
Writes EPC code in RFID supply that supports EPC code.
FORMAT
<ESC>IP0n.nnn
PARAMETER
n = Data to be written (16 bytes fixed for 64 bit inlays) or (24 bytes
fixed for 96 bit inlays).
EXAMPLE
To write 64-bit EPC code “8000 0000 4000 0001” for label issuance in
RFID supply that supports EPC code:
<ESC>A
<ESC>V50<ESC>H50<ESC>BD3020654912345678904
<ESC>IP08000000040000001
<ESC>Q1
<ESC>Z
NOTES
Printing of multiple tags (QTY > 1) is available with this command. If
data is written to an RFID tag, labels are printed after sent EPC data
and encoded EPC data are automatically checked.
If EPC code writing could not be carried out (i.e. bad tag), a tag error
label is printed and an output is sent via EXT Port, PIN 3.
Data other than 0 to 9 and A to F will be considered a command error.
If used without print data, this command will not cause a label to feed
in the case of a successful tag encode.
EPC CODE READ DESIGNATION COMMAND
FUNCTION

RETURN STATUS LIST
STX (02H) = Starting code: 1 byte.
EPC Code = EPC Code; 16 bytes fixed.
ETX (03H) = Ending code: 1 byte fixed.
