2.4 Processing of RFID tags in the printer
2.4.1
General
RFID operations are seamlessly integrated in the printing process of an AVERY printer. AVERY printers are
printing labels by means of EasyPlug commands. EasyPlug is a command oriented language for printer control.
There are some command extensions and several new commands to EasyPlug that handle RFID specific
operations. For the correct use of these commands it is necessary to understand process of printing first.
The basic RFID operations are READ data from tag and WRITE data to the tag. There is one more operation called
SELECT that is important for RFID communication. Because there can be more than one tag in the range of a
reader each tag has to be distinguished from another. This can be done by asking tags for their identification
number and select one tag because of this number. Once a tag is selected you can operate on a tag with
READ/WRITE operations. (The selection is an integrated part of each READ/WRITE operation, so there is no
special command the user needs to issue for this).
