G-2 Packet Reference Manual
Option
Any line within a format that applies special formatting to a field. This
line begins with
and must immediately follow the field it applies to.
Packet
B,1,N,1 |
Any string of characters within ({ }).
A way to optimize the printer, because it images the fields while data
is collected. After the last field is imaged, the label prints almost
Spaced Fonts
All characters have different widths and are difficult to center justify
(CG Triumvirate™ Typefaces).
Read Power
Increase or decreases the strength of the RF field emitted by the
printer’s antenna to read the RFID inlays.
RFID Data
Field
The Monarch Printer Control Language II (MPCLII) data field
containing the information to program into an RFID inlay.
RF Field
Area inside the printer where the RFID inlay is programmed. The RF
field area is controlled by the RFID power level and the antenna.
Note: The printer’s antenna is located between the platen roller and
supply guide inside a bracket.
RFID Reader
An optional device that reads the RFID inlays after they are
programmed.
RFID Inlays
Supplies that contain an embedded programmable chip and antenna.
Scalable Fonts
All characters are scalable and smooth at any point size. There are no
jagged edges at any point size because the font is created from an
equation every time it is used.
TID
The Transponder Identification Number, which contains the chip type,
features, and available custom commands supported for tag
authentication.
Transponder
The combination of the embedded programmable chip with an antenna
on some type of media (film, paper, etc.).
TrueType Fonts
All characters follow the TrueType outline font standard. All
characters are scalable and smooth at any point size.
User Memory
One of the memory fields reserved for user programming. This
memory is separate from the EPC memory and the amount of
programmable user memory varies with the tag types.
Volatile RAM
Contains information that is LOST when the printer is turned off.
Write Power
Increase or decreases the strength of the RF field emitted by the
printer’s antenna to program the RFID inlays.
