Admin User Menu Items

To see these menu items, set Admin User to Enable in the

PRINTER CONTROL menu. (Refer to the User’s Manual.)

IMPORTANT Admin User menu items should only be used for troubleshooting.

Tag Type

This menu item selects the tag type in use. The default is Alien

Squig 64. Other classes may be added in the future.

IMPORTANT If you have a T5000e printer, do not use Alien M-TAG 64, Alien M-TAG 96, or Matrics X2020 96. Only a T5000e SR or SL5000e printer can program these tag types properly.

RFID Test (This Test Reads A Tag)

This menu item reads the tag in range of the internal RFID antenna and reports the tag data to the debug port and momentarily displays it on the control panel’s LCD. It is primarily intended for development verification by checking that the system is working.

Auto Retry

This menu item selects the number of automatic (internal) retries that the RFID encoder will attempt on the same tag before declaring a tag error and performing the Error Handling mode selected (Overstrike, Stop, or None). The default is 2.

Custom Tag

This menu item enables or disables the Custom Pwr Set, Custom Tag Len, and Custom Tag Class menu items (custom tag menus). The default is Disable.

The custom tag menus allow the RFID encoder to work with tag types that are not listed in the Tag Type menu item.

NOTE: Printronix cannot guarantee the performance of tag types not certified by Printronix.
