85.1 ESC+IP5 Antenna output power
Valid range and
term of
command
When the power switch is OFF
The set parameter is not maintained.
The parameter preset will be invalid.
The parameter preset will be invalid.
[Function]
This command specifies the antenna output power.
The antenna output power for the write command and the antenna output power for the read command can be set to
separate values.
[Format]
<IP5>aaa(,bbb)
●Parameter
aaa = A 3-digit number of antenna output power (dBm) multiplied by 10. Range: 000 to 240.
bbb = A 3-digit number made by multiplying the read command’s antenna output power by 10. (Omissible)
Range: 000 to 240.
When only aaa is specified, the same antenna output power is set for both write and read commands.
When both aaa and bbb is specified, antenna output power for write command can be set with aaa and for read command
with bbb.
For details on the actual antenna output power, refer to the antenna output power setting table.
[Coding Example 1]
<A>
<IP5>170
<Z>
Antenna output power will be set to 17.0 dBm for both write and read commands without having to reboot the printer.
This value will be maintained after power is switched off.
[Coding Example 2]
<A>
<IP5>120,090
<Z>
This will change the antenna power to 12.0 dBm for write command and 9.0 dBm for read command without reboot.
These settings are maintained after turning off the printer.
[Notes]
1. This command cannot be specified in combination with commands other than <A> and <Z>.
2. This command is not processed when receiving during printing. Processed after printing is completed.
3. Since the antenna output power changes, it may not be possible to read or write some tags depending on their type.
4. A command error occurs when an invalid parameter is specified.
5. 100 is the default at shipping for both write and read commands.
6. While a value from 0 to 240 can be recorded in the nonvolatile memory of the printer, the units place is rounded off to
0 during transmission to the reader/writer module.
7. Values less than 100 shall be filled with 0 in the upper digit to make a 3 digit.
