Monarch 9906 - Using Option 64 (Program AFI Field for UHF RFID); Using Check Digits

Defining Field Options 4-15
Using Option 64 (Program AFI Field for UHF RFID)
Use Option 64 to program the AFI memory in the EPC memory bank (field) for UHF RFID tags.
Note: Do not apply a lock to the EPC memory bank since the AFI memory is part of the EPC
memory bank. If the EPC memory bank is locked, the AFI memory cannot be
programmed (the printer errors).
Syntax R,64,field,"code",lock |
R1. R Option Header.
R2. 64 Option 64.
R3. field Memory field to program. Use A (AFI).
R4. “code” Byte code. This is an 8-bit (1 byte) character to program, enclosed
within quotation marks. Range: 0 to 255. “” is the default. Use the
ASCII character or the tilde followed by the equivalent three-character
decimal value. For example, the letter A can be entered as A or ~041.
R5. lock Lock code. Use 0 (no lock).
Example X,5,16,0,0 |
R,64,A,"A",0 |
Programs the character A into the AFI memory field. The data is not locked (0).
Example X,5,16,0,0 |
R,64,A,"~046",0 |
Programs the character F into the AFI memory field. The data is not locked (0).
Using Check Digits
Check digits are typically used to ensure that a text or bar code field scans correctly. If you apply
Option 31, the printer calculates a check digit. A check digit scheme determines how the printer
calculates a check digit. When you define a check digit scheme, you assign a number to identify
it. This number is later entered in box R4 when you apply Option 31 to a field. You can use check
digits with text or bar code fields. Check digit calculations are performed on numeric data only.
Do not use check digits with price fields. Do not define a check digit scheme for UPC, EAN, Code
39 (with the MOD43 check digit), and Code 93 bar codes, because they have predefined check
digits.
Syntax {A,selector,action,device,modulus,fld_length, D/P,
"weights" | }
A1. A Check Digit Header.
A2. selector Assign a number from 1 to 10 to this check digit formula. 1 is the
default.
A3. action The action to perform. Enter A to add the check digit scheme.
A4. device Format storage device. R is the default. Options:
F Flash (must be formatted first. See “Formatting Flash” and
“Flash Memory Guidelines” in Chapter 2 for more information.)
R Volatile RAM
Note: Check digits stored in flash are saved when the printer is turned off.
A5. modulus Number from 2 to 11. The modulus is used to divide the sum of
products or the sum of digits.
A6. fld_length The maximum number of characters the field will contain. Range: 0 to
2710. 2710 is the default.
