Programming Information

Because the RFID device is attached to the cover, the

cover must be lowered for all printing applications.

Printer setup for the RFID media is also critical, so

the Present Distance and RFID position distance

should place the inlay directly under the upper tear

bar (near the antenna location). During operation,

RFID functions will be performed first and then the

printing functions will follow.

Ensure that the correct hardware has been enabled

(see below) so that the RFID module will initialize at

power up. There are three different modules:

RFID

Module/Antenna

Securakey HF (13.56 MHz) is capable of encoding data into standard ISO 15693 tags. These

typically have four bytes of data per block, with the number of blocks differing by manufacturer

(Texas Instrument contains 64 writable blocks; Philips contains 28 blocks; and, ST Micro LRI S12

contains 16 blocks. ST Micro LRI 64 tags are also supported.)

Alien UHF (915MHz) is capable of encoding data into 64 or 96-bit Class 1 EPC tags.

Samsys UHF (868 or 915 MHz) is multi-protocol. The protocols supported*are EPC Class 0, EPC

Class 0+ (Impinj or Matrics), EPC Class 1, EPC Class 1 Gen2, ISO 18000-6A, ISO 18000-6B^,

UCODE EPC 1.19 and EM4022/4222. Each offers different data sizes and other unique features.

* Not all protocols may be supported; see the firmware release notes for details.

^ ISO 18000-6B includes Intellitag® and UCODE non-EPC.

Initialization

The initialization interface to the RFID module is auto baud detectable by the printer. Commands

necessary to enable, configure, read, write, and verify RFID tags are detailed below, arranged in the

following sections: Database / Menu, Data Input, Interfaces, Option Feedback, and Diagnostics.

Database / Menu

Data Input

Data Input is in the form of System and Label Formatting commands, where <STX>KcRI and

<STX>KcQQQ support the entries that are shown in Menu mode. The RFID database file (RFID_DB)

resides on the Y module. It stores RFID information and should not be deleted. If not found at power-up

then factory defaults will be set. <STX>KcRIa configures the RFID interface, as noted below:

Value Units / Interpretation RFID Configuration Definition / Function

<STX>KcOFa configures the printer to output the status of the RFID operation, as noted below:

Value Range / Interpretation

D, Rx, S D - Disable

R - RFID Enable, where x = A - ASCII Response, x = H - Hexadecimal response

S - Scanner Enable

Interfaces

The printer has two methods of programming RFID tags: Direct Mode and Label Formatting Mode.

Direct Mode allows the Host to directly control RFID tag reading and writing, individually

processing each with status and data responses.

Label Formatting Mode utilizes the printer configuration to control RFID tag reading, writing,

and exception processing. The specification for the RFID operation is contained in the data fields

of a DPL label format and supports auto increment and decrement commands (+/-). Six RFID

operations are allowed per label.

The RFID programming data can be entered in one of two different formats: ASCII formats and

Hexadecimal formats:

The ASCII format is entered as you would normally see it (i.e., DATA).

The Hexadecimal format is entered as the hexadecimal equivalent of the ASCII data (i.e., DATA

becomes 44415441).

When entering the byte count, remember to consider the data format (from the examples, above, the

ASCII mode entry “DATA” has a byte count of four, while the hexadecimal mode entry “44415441” has

a byte count of eight).

Direct Mode - Generic Read/Write Interface

This interface allows the Host Application to send generic commands for RFID operations. These

commands consist of simple read and write operations requiring no knowledge (except data format)

of the tag types being used and utilize the printer’s database for specific parameters.

STX KaW Write Data to RFID Tag

This command instructs the RFID device to write data to the tag. It is expected that the tag

transponder will be within the read / write distance of the programming device; otherwise, a

warning will occur and a warning message (Read / Write Fail) will be displayed.

Syntax: <STX>KaWAaaabbbcdee…e<CR>

Where: Aaaa - Optional – for data in the ASCII format, followed by the byte

count (000-999).

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

UHF – Should be 000.

c - Command 1. Reserved for Future (should be 0)

d - Command 2. Reserved for Future (should be 0)

ee…e - Data to be encoded on RFID tag (HF – the last used block will be

null-padded, if necessary).



Note: UHF ASCII formats must be 8 or 12 characters.

UHF Hexadecimal formats must be 16 or 24 character pairs.

Sample: <STX>KaW0000054455354[CR]

The sample writes the data “TEST” at block zero.

* Dependent on transponder manufacturer.

STX KaR Read Data from RFID Tag

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

<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 on transponder manufacturer.

Direct Mode - HF (13.56 MHz) ISO15693 Tag Interface

This interface allows the Host Application to perform specific operations pertaining to HF type tags.

These commands override the printer database as they interface directly to the tag module.

Knowledge of HF tags and their operation is required.

STX KtW Write Data to RFID Tag

This command instructs the RFID device to write data to the tag. It is expected that the tag

transponder will be within the read / write distance of the RFID programming device; otherwise,

a warning will occur and a warning message (Read / Write Fail) will be displayed.

Syntax: <STX>KtWUn1…n16Bncncncaaabcdee…e<CR>

Un1…n16 - (Optional) Where n1…n16 is the Unique Identifier (UID) in

exadecimal format. Must be sixteen characters long.

Bncncnc

- (Optional) Where ncncncis the data byte count, to allow non-

printable characters (i.e., characters with hex values less than

0x20) to be encoded.

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

b - The number of retry attempts, 0-9.

c - Lock block after writing:

0 = No Protection

1 = Write Protect

d - Reserved. Should be 0.

Where:

ee…e - Data to be encoded on RFID tag.

Sample 1: <STX>KtWB004000900<0x00><0x01><0x02><0x03>[CR]

Sample 1 programs the hex values 0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03 in block zero.

Sample 2: <STX>KtWUE00700ABCDEF1234B004000510TEST[CR]

Sample 2 programs the data “TEST” to the tag with UID “E00700ABCDEF1234” at block zero

then write-protects block zero (attempting to write five additional times, if necessary). When write

protecting (locking) with UID, the separate lock command will also use the addressed mode and

the supplied UID.

* Dependent on transponder manufacturer.



Note: When using addressed commands and the tag with the specified UID cannot be found, a read /

write fault will be issued.
