^RS
RFID Setup
Description The ^RS command is used to set up for RFID operation. Specifically, it moves
the tag into the effective area for reading or writing or for possible error handling if there is an
error.
Format
^RSt,p,v,n,e
The following table identifies the parameters for this format.
Note • 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.
