Instruction manual

Option 5 (Define Data Entry Sources)
Defines how data is entered into a field. Option 5 is required for offline data
entry. If the field holds all fixed characters or copied data only, you can
eliminate the operator prompt. Use Option 5 only once per field. You must
use the 939 keyboard for offline data entry.
Use this option to read pre-programmed data in the RFID chip embedded
within the supply. Using Option 5 stops the printer while reading each label;
regardless of the print speed. If using a batch quantity greater than one,
the data is read from each label.
Note: Using Option 5 to read pre-programmed RFID data is supported with
the release of version 5.0 or greater printer’s software.
The EM4122 protocol requires Option 5 to read the pre-programmed
data.
When reading data, make sure the maximum number of characters in the
field is equal to or greater than the number of characters being read. If not,
the data may be incomplete.
Use option 6 (Upload Field Data) with Option 5 to upload the data from the
RFID chip to a host.
