NAME Read-PrinterNfcTag



SYNOPSIS

Reads information about printers from an NFC tag.





SYNTAX

Read-PrinterNfcTag [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

The Read-PrinterNfcTag cmdlet reads information about printers from the near field communication (NFC) tag that anyone taps against the default NFC

reader for the system. The cmdlet returns the printer information that it reads as a table that contains the value of the SharePath property and the

value and the wsdAddress property for the printers.





PARAMETERS

-CimSession [<CimSession[]>]

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or

Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ThrottleLimit [<Int32>]

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is

entered, then Windows PowerShell???? calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the

computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value none

Accept pipeline input? false

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

INPUTS











OUTPUTS











Example 1: Read an NFC tag



PS C:\\> $Tag = Read-PrinterNfcTag

PS C:\\> Write-PrinterNfcTag $Tag



This first command reads printer connection data from the next NFC tag that someone taps against the NFC reader. The command stores the printer

information in the $Tag variable.



The second command uses the Write-PrinterNfcTag to write the printer connection information stored in $Tag to an NFC tag.





Example 2: Modify the share path of a printer connection



PS C:\\> $Tag = Read-PrinterNfcTag

PS C:\\> $Tag.SharePaths = "\\\\ntprint\\b27-3697-b"



This first command reads printer connection information from the next NFC tag that someone taps against the NFC reader. The command stores the printer

information in the $Tag variable.



The second command changes the share path of the shared printers stored in $Tag. The command uses standard dot syntax to access the SharePaths property

of the object stored in $Tag.
