Overstruck Smart Labels

Overstruck Smart Labels

If an RFID tag within a smart label is deemed unacceptable after execution of the defined number of retries, the following actions are performed:

•If Error Handling is set to Overstrike (the default), the unacceptable smart label will print with a grid or error message over the label. If the Label Retry Count is greater than zero (the default is 10), the next smart label will be tried until the label retry count is exhausted.

•If Error Handling is set to Stop, the printer will stop, give an error message, and discard the failing label data.

•If Error Handling is set to None, the printer will continue to the next smart label with the next form and discard the failing label data.

Smart Label Characteristics

The smart labels currently supported have the following characteristics:

•UHF 915MHz radio frequency identification tag

•EPC Class 1 tags – 64 data bits Write Few / Read Many

•4 x 6 inch label stock

•Nominal roll size is 500 smart labels. An additional number of smart labels may be added to the Printronix smart label rolls to compensate for tags that are deemed unacceptable. This is so you can have 500 good labels.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that additional smart labels are purchased directly from Printronix to assure the highest level of performance and reliability. See “How To Order More Smart Labels” on page 15.
