^WR - Set Transmit Rate

^WR chooses which 802.11b transmit rates the radio can use, and at what power. The first four arguments are independent switches and not a single rate setting, so the card keeps whichever subset is on. Nothing in the command stops all four from being off. ^WR and ~WR are different commands; ~WR resets the radio.

Syntax

^WRa,b,c,d,e

Support

Recognised, deliberately skippedparsed: none · state: none · rendered: none

Accepted and skipped, because it configures the printer rather than the label. It cannot change the rendered output, and Labelary skips it too.

Radio link parameters. This service has no radio. The renderer does not parse this command. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach X-Warnings. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines. — not pinned by a test

Labelary renders this command.

Parameters

aRate 1required · Y or N

Whether the card can use the 1 Mb/s rate.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide states no default.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (Y, N).

Y: On
N: Off

bRate 2required · Y or N

Whether the card can use the 2 Mb/s rate.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide states no default.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (Y, N).

Y: On
N: Off

cRate 5.5required · Y or N

Whether the card can use the 5.5 Mb/s rate.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide states no default.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (Y, N).

Y: On
N: Off

dRate 11required · Y or N

Whether the card can use the 11 Mb/s rate.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide states no default.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (Y, N).

Y: On
N: Off

eTransmit powerrequired · one of a set

Radio transmit power. The guide lists the accepted values without a unit.

Invalid value: not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse or measure this command. The guide states no default.
Test coverage: No documented value is exercised by a test (1, 5, 20, 30, 50, 100).

1: Lowest power
5: Power level 5
20: Power level 20
30: Power level 30
50: Power level 50
100: Full power

Behavior

The four rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11 Mb/s, each Y or N, and the guide states no default for any of them. Transmit power is one of 1, 5, 20, 30, 50 or 100; the guide lists those values without a unit, so this page supplies none.

This is radio configuration and cannot reach a label.

The renderer ignores this command and reads no arguments. It reports IGNORED_COMMAND at info severity, which does not reach the X-Warnings header. Labelary is also silent, so the rendered label is identical in both engines.

Example
