Interfaces; Direct Mode - Generic Read/Write Interface; Write Data To Rfid Tag - Datamax-ONeil I-Class User Manual

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