INVALID PROTOC The RFID reader received a command for a protocol value that is
not supported with the current version of reader firmware. Make
sure you have the right tag type selected and that you are using a
tag that is supported by your printer.

first two bits are 0b00, then the tag ID must be 96 bits. Otherwise,
the tag ID is 64 bits.
Make sure that the first two bits have the correct values,
depending on the tag ID length.
