DEFINING THE RFID DATA

FIELD

The Monarch Printer Control Language II (MPCLII) RFID Data Field

contains the information you want programmed into the RFID tag. The

printer can accept EPC data following the guidelines in the EPC

Generation 1 Tag Data Standards Specification or the EPCglobal



Tag

Data Standards Specification, which conforms to the EPC Radio-

Frequency Identity Protocols Class 1 Generation 2 UHF RFID Protocol for

Communications at 860-960MHz Standards (RFID Air Interface protocol).

Refer to the EPC Specification to create valid EPC data.

This chapter details the syntax of the RFID Data Field and explains how

to use Expanded Gen2 data.

The syntax of the RFID Data Field is similar to the standard non-printable

text field format.

Syntax X,field#,#ofchar,data_type¦

X1. X RFID Data Field.

X2. field# Unique number from 0-999 assigned to this field.

X3. #ofchar This number must be equal to or greater than the

total number of characters in the RFID Data Field.

Range: 0-2710. The amount varies according to your

RFID data and protocol. For example, C1Gen2 can

be 96 bits, plus the access password, lock code, etc.

Note: An error 715 occurs if the printer does not receive the correct

amount of data. You can pad data to make sure you have the

correct amount of bits. See “Using Option 30

,” for more

information.
