STX KuR Read Data from RFID Tag
(Direct Mode – UHF Interface – Hexadecimal Data Only)
This command instructs the RFID device to read data from the tag and then place that data into a
replaceable field. It is expected that the tag transponder is within the read / write distance of the RFID
programming device; otherwise, “Void” will be printed in the text or bar code label field(s).
 Note: Data should be at least 16 or 24 characters in length.
Syntax:
<STX>KuRaa<CR>
Where:
aa
- Field number in which to place the data (must be 01, 02, 03, etc.)
matching the order of Label Formatting command, U.
 Note: The 00 value will send the unique tag ID to the host with no
printing.
Sample:
<STX>L
D11
1911A1801000100 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
U
1A31050002000200 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

X
<STX>KuR01
<STX>Kur02
<STX>G
The sample creates a replaceable text field (01) and bar code field (02) and then recalls the data from
the tag and places it into the specified fields.
