Checksum
The user data contains a checksum byte whose use is recommended when using the RS-
232 interface.
● If the checksum is not used and will not be checked by the reader, the checksum byte
must have the value 0.
● To calculate the checksum, all bytes as of the total length (inclusive) up to the byte of the
checksum (exclusive) are XORed.
Bad frames
If an XMATCH frame with an incorrect structure is received, the error is logged in the
diagnostics data records as a temporary error (transient error) and the frame is discarded.
● Bad structure: For example String length cl > 3 001 characters or checksum incorrect.
Even with a correct frame structure, the XMATCH command can be invalid. The error is also
logged in the diagnostics data records as a temporary error (Page 345).
