Ex: change key B value to B0,B1,B2,B3,B4,B5 before reading 16 bytes from block 2.
<RFK01,B0,B1,B2,B3,B4,B5><RFR1,2,16,1>
PERMANENT RF KEY COMMAND - <rfk00,#,#,#,#,#,#>
This command is the same as the uppercase <RFK> command except it is permanently stored in flash. This
command should only be sent once to configure the printer. If changing key A frequently, use the uppercase
command. Note: only key A value can be permanently stored using this command.
RFID DISABLED COMMAND - <rfd>
This command disables the RFID mode for the printer and is permanently stored in flash. This can also be set
using the 'Factory Menu'.
RFID ENABLED COMMAND - <rfe#>
This command has been modified to now select the type of tag being used as well as enabling the RFID mode
for the printer. The command is permanently stored in flash. This can also be set using the 'Factory Menu'. The
# value selects the type of tag being used. The values can range as shown below.
Note: Recommended for experienced users only. This feature is set at the factory and generally
should not be changed.
No value sent (original command <rfe>)– Mifare Ultralight
0 - RFID disabled (same as <rfd>)
1 – Mifare Ultralight
2 – I-code (SL2)
3 – Auto Detect M1*
4 – Auto Detect M4*
5 – Auto Dual M1*
6 – Auto Dual M4*
* see 'AUTO DETECT OPTION FOR SINGLE OR DUAL PATH PRINTERS' for further explanation.
AUTO-DETECT OPTION FOR SINGLE OR DUAL PATH PRINTERS
The Auto-Detect option will automatically determine the tag type during initialization. Only the supported tag
types listed previously for each reader are detected.
Single Path Printer Auto Detect
This mode is selected using the Auto Detect M1 or M4 RFID Menu option or <rfe#> command.
Dual Path Printer Auto Detect
A Dual Path RFID printer can only be configured with two readers of the same type. You can not mix an M1
with an M4 reader. Each path will have its own reader. These are configured with the Auto Dual M1 or M4
RFID Menu option or <rfe#> command.
A Dual RFID printer uses the same RFID commands as a single path (standard) RFID printer. However, you
must tell the printer for which path the RFID commands are intended. This is accomplished by sending a path
command <P1> or <P2> before issuing any RFID commands. Once a path has been selected, you no longer
need to send a path command before the RFID commands. In order to change paths, a new path command
must be sent.
Ex: <P1><RFSN2,1> would read the serial number from the tag on Path1.
Ex: <P2><RFSN2,1> would read the serial number from the tag on Path2.
RFID RETRY COMMAND - <rfre#>
