^RM - Configure RFID Motion
Chooses whether the media moves while the printer reads or writes a tag.
By default the printer prints and feeds a label at the end of the format. ^RM
stops the feed at the programming position, so the media stays where the printer
can read and write the transponder. The command is for diagnosis, for setup, and
for applicators that control the media movement themselves.
Syntax
^RMeSupport
Accepted and skipped, because it configures the printer rather than the label. It cannot change the rendered output, and Labelary skips it too.
A media-transport setting for the encode step. This service has no media transport and no encode step. 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 and with or without the command. — not pinned by a test
Labelary renders this command.
Parameters
eEnable motionoptional · Y or NWhether the label moves when it reaches the programming position. The guide notes this setting is not persistent, so it applies to the current format only.
- Default
- Y
- Invalid value
- not documented, and we have not measured it. The renderer does not parse this command or validate its arguments. The guide does not state what a printer does with an out-of-range value.
- Test coverage
- No documented value is exercised by a test (Y, N).
Y- Move the label. (default)
N- Do not move the label.
Behavior
The setting is not persistent. It applies to the format that carries it, and the
next format starts again from Y. A stopped feed does not prevent a feed from
other commands. The guide states that other ZPL in the format can move the media.
Media transport has no effect on a rendered image. ^RMN and ^RMY render the
same page here.
