    If 20cm distance cannot be maintained, end users are to be 20cm from printer extremity. CAUTION: Any changes or modifications to this RFID module not expressly approved by Datamax Corporation will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

  • Page 4: Installing The Option

    Installing the Option Follow the steps below if installing the RFID module. If the RFID module is already installed proceed to the next section. Front Cover Panel 1. Turn off the power switch and unplug the Screws printer. 2. Open the cover and remove the three Screws that secure the Front Cover Panel to the printer.
  • Page 5 4. Route the RFID Cable as shown. 5. Connect the RFID Cable to the connector in the printer’s Centerplate. RFID Cable This completes the installation. Load Smart labels and ribbon (if necessary) then close the printer’s cover. Centerplate...
  • Page 6 Alien Class 1 EPC tags. These contain 64 or 96 bits of user programmable data. This section provides details of the Datamax DPL commands necessary to enable, configure, read, write, and verify RFID tags. It is divided into the following sections: Initialization, Database/Menu, Data Input, Interfaces, Data Output, and Diagnostics.
  • Page 7 Database / Menu Database and Menu Selection will be constructed to support the following system level data. The following resides on the operator’s front panel menu under “PRINTER OPTIONS” → “RFID”. Upon selection the display will show “NOT INSTALLED” if the device is not equipped or not communicating and then proceed to the Mode selection.

  • Page 8: Data Input

    Data Input The input data is in the form of new System and Label Formatting commands. The system level commands consist of Database and Direct User Interface. Database setup commands <STX>KcRI and response data <STX>KcQQQ support the entries that are shown in the Operator’s Menu interface.
  • Page 9 Interfaces The printer has two modes of operation for programming the RFID tags: Direct and Label Formatting Mode. The Direct Mode allows the User (Host) to control the reading and writing of the RFID Tag directly. Each RFID tag is individually processed with status and data responses. This mode contains both a generic Read/Write Interface or High Level Tag HF or UHF specific interface.
  • Page 10 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. They 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.
  • Page 11 STX KaR Read Data from RFID Tag This command instructs the RFID device to read data from the tag and put it in a replaceable field. It is expected that the tag transponder is within read/write distance of the RFID programming device otherwise a “Void”...
  • Page 12 Direct Mode - HF (13.56mhz) 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.
  • Page 13 STX KtR Read Data from RFID Tag This command instructs the RFID device to read data from the tag and put it in a replaceable field. It is expected that the tag transponder is within read/write distance of the RFID programming device otherwise a “Void”...

  • Page 16 Direct Mode- UHF (915mhz) Class 1 Tag Interface This interface allows the Host Application to perform specific operations pertaining to UHF type tags. These commands override the printer database as they interface directly to the tag module. Knowledge of ALIEN CLASS 1Tags and their operation is required. STX KuW Write Data to RFID Tag This command instructs the RFID device to write data to the tag.

  • Page 19 Specifier (the portion in bold), where 0024 equals the four-digit decimal data byte count and includes all bytes that follow until the end of the data. Field termination is set by the byte count. The printer encodes the RFID chip starting at block 001 with “Datamax<CR>writes RFID best”.
