  • Page 3 SCOPE This document is to serve as a guide on how to control the RFID portion of the printer using SATO Barcode Programming Language (SBPL) and Label Gallery Plus/TruePro software. It will include menu selection and all relative command code sequences.
  • Page 4 RFID HARDWARE CONFIGURATION The RFID hardware kit is comprised of the: RFID Module, RFID Antenna w/coaxial cable, RFID Cable Set. The figure below displays configuration: Figure 2, Hardware Configuration RFID User Guide PN: 9001147D...
  • Page 5 RFID MODE The RFID Mode typically appears following the printer’s Service Mode. Use the printer’s Operator or Service Manual for guidance on the specific menu structure for that printer and how to maneuver to the Service Mode and beyond. The RFID Mode menu will only appear on applicable printer’s with the required devices installed.
  • Page 6 Displays the total accumulated quantity of RFID writes. The count may be reset by performing a Factory Clear. RFID LIFE COUNT [Total quantity of successful writes] + [total quantity of write failures] = Total RFID Writes TOTAL 000000 Displays the total accumulated quantity of successful RFID writes. The count may be reset by performing a Factory Clear.
  • Page 7 Use the printer’s operator panel to scroll and select the desired option. Allows the selection of the output pattern of RFID error. Selecting PULSE will result in a single pulsating output and selecting LEVEL will result in a flat output.
  • Page 8 Use the printer’s operator panel to scroll and select the desired option. NO TAG FOUND RETRY CONTINUE Allows the enabling of direct communication between the host and the RFID module. When YES has been selected, the module is ready to communicate with the host RFID SETTING without the printer’s intervention and all data will be processed through the host.

  • Page 9: Calibration Mode

    + placement specifications as necessary. Where printer specific RFID labels are not to be used or in cases of new inlay types, RFID calibration may be required to determine the optimal programming position and transmission/reception power conducive to that media.
  • Page 10 Displays only if MANUAL was selected for determining the best write position, allowing for the offset distance to be established. Use the printer’s operator panel to scroll and RFID TAG OFFSET select the desired offset distance. The measurement increments are in millimeters.
  • Page 11 COMMAND STRUCTURE This chapter provides the command sequences applicable to establishing RFID control through the use of an external host device instead of through the printer’s integrated operator panel. EPC CODE WRITE DESIGNATION COMMAND (NEW) Writes EPC code in RFID supply that supports EPC code.
  • Page 12 <ESC>IP08000000040000001 <ESC>Q1 <ESC>Z If data is written to an RFID tag, labels are printed after sent EPC data and encoded EPC NOTES data are automatically checked. If EPC code writing could not be carried out (i.e. bad tag), a tag error label is printed.
  • Page 13 Specify the command Enlargement <ESC>L right before <ESC>TM in case of its usage. The original print area is of 143W x 101H dots (without the designation of enlargement). When parameter “x” is left blank, logo “1” will be printed. RFID User Guide PN: 9001147D...
