OPTION FEEDBACK. The data is contained in the form [CR] where:

A - Is the device type: R = RFID; and, S = Linear Scanner.

B - Is the status: C = entire label complete; F = faulted (failed) label; and, U = unknown.

C - Is the number of expected reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters.

D - Is the number of good reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters.

E - Is the printer’s internal Job and Sub Job Identifier, given in four characters each.
