^RS
RFID Setup
Description The ^RS command moves the RFID tag into the effective area for reading or
writing or for possible error handling if there is an error.
Format
^RSt,p,v,n,e
The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
Important • Use care when using this command in combination with ^RT (reading tag data).
Problems can occur if the data read from the tag is going to be printed on the label. Any data
read from the transponder must be positioned to be printed above the read/write position.
Failure to do this will prevent read data from being printed on the label.
Parameters Details
t =tag type Accepted values:
• 1 = Auto detect (automatically determine the tag type by querying the tag)
Default value: 1
p = read/write position of
the transponder in the
vertical (Y axis) in
dot rows from the top
of the label
Set to 0 (no movement) if the transponder is already in the effective area
without moving the media.
Accepted values: 0 to label length
Default value: label length minus 8 dot rows
v = length of void
printout in vertical (Y
axis) dot rows
Default value: label length
Accepted values: 0 to label length
n = number of labels to
try in case of
read/encode failure
Default value: 3
Accepted values: 1 to 10 (number of labels)
e = error handling If an error persists after the specified number of labels are tried, perform this
error handling action.
Accepted values:
• N = No action (printer drops the label format causing the error and moves to
the next queued label)
• P = Place printer in Pause mode (label format stays in the queue until the user
cancels)
• E = Place printer in Error mode (label format stays in the queue until the user
cancels)
Default value: N
Note • You can set the printer to send an error message to the host as an
unsolicited message for each failure. To enable or disable the unsolicited error
message, refer to the
^SX and ^SQ ZPL commands. The parameter for the
RFID error in these commands is
V.
