Avery Dennison ADTP1 - Setting the Read Power; Setting the Encode Position

8-8 System Administrator’s Guide Classification: Avery Dennison - Public
Setting the Read Power
This option only appears in the Advanced Setup menu. The read power setting increases
the strength of the RF Field emitted by the printer’s antenna. Use this power to read tags
in singulate mode. The range is -15 to 23. The default is -15.
Use the RFID Printer Setup Utility to determine the read power then enter the value at the
printer.
Select To

Decrease the setting. If the read power setting is too low, the RFID
inlay in the RF field may not be read.

Increase the setting. If the read power setting is too high, adjacent
RFID inlays may be read.
Press 1 to toggle the amount (1, 10, or 100).
Setting the Encode Position
This option only appears in the Advanced Setup menu when using stop-to-encode mode.
The encode position is measured from the leading edge of the supply to the best
programming position within the inlay. The encode position is different for each type of
inlay. The range is 0 to 2000. 0 is the default, which indicates the printer does not have
to reposition the inlay.
Set this position only when using stop-to-encode mode.
When using a 0 encode position, the printer encodes when the label is at the defined top-
of-form position – no extra supply movement is required.
When using a non-zero encode position, the printer automatically backfeeds between
labels, thereby decreasing throughput.
Use the RFID Printer Setup Utility to determine the encode position then enter the value
at the printer.
