Avery Dennison ADTP1 - Incrementing Fields; Creating Gen2 RFID Data

Printing 6-7
Incrementing Fields
In incrementing fields, the first number in the sequence must contain the same number of digits
as the highest number to be counted. For example, to increment the numbers in a field from 1 to
999, enter the starting number in the batch as 001.
Creating Gen2 RFID Data
The RFID printer supports EPC Gen2 data, which contains these fields:
♦ EPC Data
The printer supports EPC Class-1 Generation-2 UHF (C1Gen2) protocol encoding
following the EPC™ Radio-Frequency Identity Protocols Class 1 Generation 2
UHF RFID Protocol for Communications at 860-960MHz Standards (GS1
EPCglobal™ Specification for RFID Air Interface).
♦ User
Memory
Many different RFID supplies (tags) are available and the amount of
programmable user memory varies with the chip embedded in the tag.
Depending on the tag type, all memory fields may not be available.
Refer to the Monarch® RFID Printer Setup Utility (
http://www.monarch.com/prnutil/rfidsetup/
) for details about the available
user memory for each chip.
♦ TID Field
Tag
Identifier
A portion of the TID field contains a unique number that identifies the
manufacturer of the tag. This field is readable and writable.
♦ Access
Password
Controls when new data can be written to a field.
♦ Kill
Password
Sets a tag up to be inoperable.
♦ Lock
Code
Contains the locking method for each field. There are four locking methods:
Value EPC Lock Description
0
No lock
(unsecure)
The selected memory fields (EPC, user memory,
access password and kill password) are readable and
writable. The tag can be programmed multiple times.
1
Permalock
(permanently
unsecure)
Permanently locked in a writable state. The tag can
be programmed multiple times. User memory and kill
password are also readable in this state.
2
Password lock
(secure)
Requires the access password to rewrite the selected
memory fields. The tag can be programmed multiple
times with the password. EPC and user memory are
writable with password and readable.
Access password is never readable.
Kill password is only writable with password.
3
Permalock and
Password lock
(permanently
locked)
Never rewritable, but always readable. The tag can
never be rewritten, once locked. EPC and user
memory are never rewritable, but are readable.
Access password and kill password are never
readable or rewritable.
Note: The EPC field is always readable, no matter what locking method is assigned.
