Less than 242 Characters in Read Data
More Than 240 Characters in Read Data
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 four-digit hexadecimal
number. Up to 8192 bytes can be read with one command.
Specifiable range: 0001H to 2000H
• ASCII specification: 8192 bytes (8192 characters)
• Hexadecimal code specification: 8192 bytes (16384 characters)
End code Indicates the results of command execution. An end code of 00 is returned for a normal end.
Refer to End Codes for more information.
