Hello All,
We are currently testing our Zebra ZT410 RFID printer and have made good progress on the testing. Using the programming guide we have been able to revamp some .NET code to connect via IP to the Zebra printer and send the ZPL commands as a string to the printer on Port 9100.
However we wish to encode our label tags with our own internal EPC value that is linked to our internal MES system for trace-ability purposes.
How can we pass our custom value to the ZPL code "^FD our own alphanumeric value" from our SQL server database?
Any insight is appreciated.

At minimum, you need ^RB command to define the EPC format. Then use ^RF command to write the value.
By looking at the ZPL code snippet above, it doesn't look right. If there is no ^RB command used, it is assumed to use all 96-bit of EPC. The "^RFW,H" means to write hex data to 96-bits to EPC. But the "^FD200038599394838848383838383838" in hex has far more than 96-bits. Please refer to this RFID Programming Guide 3 for details.
