Rfid Command (Cl4Nx Only) - SATO CL4NX Programming Reference Manual

RFID Command (CL4NX Only)

RFID commands can be used only in printers equipped with the RFID option. A command error
occurs if the RFID option is not provided. The continuous mode, cutter mode, dispense mode and
tear-off mode are available when the printer is operated in the RFID mode. Reading and return of
data cannot be performed with other than <RU> and [DC2]PK when backfeed is selected before
printing in the cutter mode and dispense mode, when the tear-off mode is specified, and when the
tag offset is set to other than default. Refer to the table below for the relationship between the print
mode and the RFID read/write command.
