POLLING AUTO READ (PR)
For POLLING AUTO READ, the ID Controller immediately returns a response informing the host device
that the command has been received (end code: 74 = polling command received). The ID Controller
then waits for a Data Carrier to approach and reads data from Data Carrier memory. During this time,
the host device can check the results of command processing by using a subcommand. Also, the host
device can send commands to the other Read/Write Head.
■ 1:1 Communications
Data code specification Specifies the type of code in which to send the read data in the response.
A: ASCII
H: Hexadecimal
R/W Head No. Specifies the Read/Write Head with which to communicate.
1: Read/Write Head 1
2: Read/Write Head 2
Read area start address Specifies the first address from which to read data from the Data Carrier as a four-digit hexadeci-
mal number.
Specifiable range: 0000H to FFFFH
No. of read bytes Specifies the number of bytes of data to read from the Data Carrier as a two-digit hexadecimal
number. Up to 256 bytes can be read with one command.
Specifiable range: 00H to FFH (The maximum of 256 bytes will be read if 00H is specified.)
• ASCII specification: 256 bytes (256 characters)
• Hexadecimal code specification: 256 bytes (512 characters)
End code Indicates the results of command execution.
74: Polling command received.
The only error codes returned here are 74 and error codes for communications errors with the
host.
