What To Expect When Running Your RFID Application

Factors Affecting Smart Label Performance

Smart labels are based on an EEPROM technology that requires some time to be programmed. You may notice this minor pause between labels. This time is necessary to better ensure consistent quality and improved reliability.

When dealing with smart labels, it is possible that an occasional RFID tag may need to be written and verified more than once (retry) before being considered acceptable. In this event each retry time will be added to the inter-label pause.

Static electricity can damage the smart labels. Open the media cover of the printer and touch an unpainted metal part of the printer before you handle smart labels. This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up on your hands.

Overstruck Smart Labels

If an RFID tag within a smart label is deemed unacceptable after execution of the defined number of retries, what occurs next depends upon the Error Handling setting. See “Error Handling” on page 27.
