RFID Commands
Specific RFID commands have been added to the CPL language to
support the RFID functionality of the Advantage RFID Thermal
Printer.
Programming Overview
Most Cognitive printers use the same command language, which has
become an industry standard. RFID commands are broken into three
types:
• RFID Standard Commands – Standard commands that are
inserted into a label format
• RFID Variable Commands – Variables used with other
commands and inserted into a label format
The format for creating a printer variable is:
<Delimiter>RF_VAR<Delimiter>
<Delimiter> is defined according to Cognitive’s CPL
command language.
NOTE: In this document, the dollar sign ($) character is used as the delimiter
character.
• RFID Setup/Debug Commands – Commands used with a
serial interface to the printer and sent individually for setup
or debug information
