Classification: Avery Dennison – Public Setting RFID Options 8-1
SETTING RFID OPTIONS
The RFID printer has been engineered to encode (program) an RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) inlay while printing. RFID inlays contain an embedded
programmable microchip and an antenna. The printer supports EPC Class-1 Generation-
2 UHF (C1Gen2) protocol encoding. To create a format with an RFID data field and
program RFID data, refer to the Packet Reference Manual.
An RFID printer has an antenna to program RFID inlays. Two antenna modules are
available – one for FCC and one for ETSI frequencies. The antenna module type prints
on the RFID configuration label. See “Printing a Test Label
” for more information.
An optional external verifier (reader) is available to verify the data within a programmed
RFID inlay. The antenna is located within the supply path. The optional external verifier
is located where the supply exits the printer. Peel mode or liner take-up is not available
with the optional external RFID verifier.
The RFID printer operates in one of two modes:
♦ non-stop encode mode
In non-stop encode mode, the printer does not pause (or
stop) while encoding the RFID inlay. Non-stop encode is
useful with minimum “pitch” supplies. See “What is Pitch
”
for more information.
♦ stop-to-encode mode
In stop-to-encode mode, the printer pauses (or stops)
while encoding the RFID inlay.
About RFID Supplies
RFID supplies contain an embedded programmable chip and antenna. They can
be damaged by static electricity. Ground yourself by touching metal, such as the
printer’s metal base, before handling the RFID supplies.
Do not use skip index with RFID supplies.
Many different RFID supplies are available – each chip has different amounts of
available programmable EPC data, user memory, access password, and lock
code data. For example, some chips such as the Impinj Monza R6 can only be
permalocked. Refer to the Packet Reference Manual for more information.
Printing over the RFID inlay causes printing irregularity and may impact bar
code print quality.
