Setting Stop-To-Encode Mode
This option only appears in the Advanced Setup menu. The printer operates in non-stop
encode or stop-to-encode mode. The default is non-stop encode.
Select To
Yes Use stop-to-encode mode. The printer pauses (or stops) while encoding the
RFID inlay.
The printer feeds supply, stops to encode the inlay, then prints the image.
Backfeeding may occur to properly position an inlay over the antenna. An
inlay is encoded then the label is imaged/printed.
Stop-to-encode mode may yield faster throughput with specifically
configured supply.
No Enable non-stop encoding. The printer does not pause (or stop) while
encoding the RFID inlay.
Encoding and printing is done at the same time.
Non-stop encoding is required for minimum pitch supplies. See “
What is
Pitch” for more information.
Performance Considerations with RFID
The printer has two RFID modes of operation: stop-to-encode and non-stop encode:
Stop-to-encode mode Non-stop encode mode
♦ The printer pauses (or stops) while
encoding the RFID inlay.
♦ The printer does not pause (or stop)
while encoding the RFID inlay.
♦ The amount of programmable EPC
data, user memory, access password,
and lock code data varies by RFID
chip.
♦ Some RFID chips encode faster than
others.
♦ The printer errors if it cannot program
all the RFID data within the allotted
time.
♦ The faster the print speed, the less
time the printer has to encode data.
♦ Stop-to-encode mode must be used for
serialized EPC data. Refer to the
Packet Reference Manual for more
information.
♦ The amount of programmable EPC
data, user memory, access password,
and lock code data varies by print
speed and RFID chip.
♦ The printer errors if it cannot program
all the RFID data while the inlay is
within the encode zone.
