^RS
RFID Setup
Description The ^RS command sets up various RFID parameters, including label position,
error handling, and number of retries.
Format
^RSt,p,v,n,e,s,r
The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
Important • Use care when using this command in combination with ^RT (reading tag data).
Problems can occur if the data read from the tag is going to be printed on the label. Any data
read from the transponder must be positioned to be printed above the read/write position.
Failure to do this will prevent read data from being printed on the label.
Parameters Details
t =tag type Accepted values:
• 1 = Auto detect (automatically determine the tag type by querying the tag)
Default value: 1
p = read/write position of
the transponder
Sets the read/write position of the transponder in the vertical (Y axis) in dot
rows from the top of the label. Set to 0 (no movement) if the transponder is
already in the effective area without moving the media.
Accepted values: 0 to label length
Default value: label length minus 8 dot rows
v = length of void
printout
Sets the length of the void printout in vertical (Y axis) dot rows.
Default value: label length
Accepted values: 0 to label length
n = number of labels The number of labels that will be attempted in case of read/encode failure.
Default value: 3
Accepted values: 1 to 10 (number of labels)
e = error handling If an error persists after the specified number of labels are tried, perform this
error handling action.
Accepted values:
• N = No action (print engine drops the label format causing the error and
moves to the next queued label)
• P = Place print engine in Pause mode (label format stays in the queue until
the user cancels)
• E = Place print engine in Error mode (label format stays in the queue until
the user cancels)
Default value: N
Note • You can set the print engine to send an error message to the host as an
unsolicited message for each failure. To enable or disable the unsolicited error
message, refer to the
^SX and ^SQ ZPL commands. The parameter for the
RFID error in these commands is
V.
