RFId Commands for Printers

Procedure to set the printer

Before send the command to encode the TAG, you must do always the below steps:
Made a label calibration: this let the printer recognize the correct label size
Made a TAG calibration: this let the printer identify the correct position of the TAG inside the label size

After this calibration (that is more or less the same for all the brand) it is possible to encode the TAG using specific commands

TSPL Command to encode the tag

For the TSC printers you must use TSPL commands (see RFID section in the manual) and you can send the RFID WRITE command to encode the data in the TAG

Below an example

CLS

RFID WRITE,0,H,0,12,EPC,"123456789012"

RFID READ,0,H,0,12,EPC,"Data Read: "

PRINT 1

with this Sample you can encode the Data and then READ the data encoded in the same tag.

The printer send back the data read to the host so if everything works fine you receive the below data

Data Read: 123456789012

Below the list of the command available

RFID ON/OFF
RFID ERROR
RFID RETRY
RFID RETRYERROR ON/OFF
RFID POSITION
RFID POWER
RFID COUNTRESET
RFID READ/WRITE
RFID RFLOCK
RFIDDETECT

PGL Command to encode the tag

PGL is the language used for the Printronix printers (now part of TSC brand)

ZPL Command to encode the tag

ZPL is the language used in Zebra printers
