The label looks like this when printed:
Working With RFID Tags
If a printer has an RFID module installed, the RFID mode is automatically turned
on. You need to configure the printer, declare a format that includes commands to
read and write to the tag, and print the format to a label. The printer aligns the tag
with the antenna, executes the RFID commands, repositions the label, prints the
image buffer to the label, and then positions the next label for printing.
How to Write Data to an RFID Tag
To write data to an RFID tag you need to do two things: specify an area in the tag’s
memory and define the data that will be written to the tag. To specify an area in the
tag’s memory, you define an RFID tag write field. This field specifies which segment
is written to, the start position, length of data (in bytes) and the format of the data.
<STX>H1;o200,200;d0,20<ETX>
Defines a human-readable field at origin 200,200. All other settings are
identical to H0.
<STX>H2;o300,300;d0,20<ETX>
Defines a human-readable field at origin 300,300. All other settings are
identical to H0.
<STX>H3;o400,400;d0,20<ETX>
Defines a human-readable field at origin 400,400. All other settings are
identical to H0.
<STX>R<ESC>E6<CAN><ETX>
Places the printer in Print mode, selects format 6, and clears all previous
data.
<STX>FIRST FIELD<CR>
SECOND FIELD<CR>
THIRD FIELD<CR>
FOURTH FIELD<ETX>
Specifies the data to be assigned to the four fields requiring input. <CR>
separates the individual data strings. The first data string (FIRST FIELD)
is assigned to field 0, the second (SECOND FIELD) to field 1, and so on.
<STX><ETB><ETX>
Prints the label.
