RFID PPI/ZGL Commands

56

retries

The number of automatic attempts to
read data from the tag if previous reads
failed. The PPI/ZGL absorbs the number
and uses the value on the control panel’s
LCD.

motion

Set this flag to 1 to read data from the tag
without moving the label. The printer may
adjust the label position while it reads
data from the tag, but this adjustment will
reverse before any subsequent normal
label movement. Even if this flag is set to
1, other commands (i.e., alpha or
barcode) may move the label.
The default is 0.

reserved

This is a reserved flag. The PPI/ZGL
absorbs this number.

Comments

This command is only executed by the demand for
data from any dynamic field. The PPI/ZGL absorbs this
command if there are no demands for the data.
