Commands for Tag Communications
This section describes the commands that are used to communicate with Tags.

1:1 Protocol
Data designation Specifies the code format when sending the read data response.
“A”: ASCII
“H”: Hexadecimal
Antenna designation Specifies the Antenna with which to communicate.
“1”: Antenna 1
“2”: Antenna 2
Read area start address Specifies the start address of the area in the Tag from which data is to be read from in 4-digit
hexadecimal.
Setting range: 0000
H to FFFFH
No. of bytes to read Specifies the number of bytes of data to read from the Tag in 2-digit hexadecimal.
Up to 256 bytes can be read with one command.
Setting range: 00
