RFID CONTROL Submenus

Precheck Tags

When this menu item is set to Enable, the RFID encoder checks the tags for a pre-programmed quality code. If the code is absent, the tag immediately fails and the selected Error Handling mode is performed (Overstrike, None, or Stop). The default is Disable.

 

Overstrike Style

 

This menu item selects the style of the overstrike pattern. The

 

default is Grid.

 

When it is set to Grid, a grid pattern prints when it overstrikes.

 

When it is set to Error Type Msg, an error message prints that

 

indicates which error occurred (see Table 1).

Error Message

 

Explanation

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tag R/W Err x

 

The printer software attempted to write to or read from the

Check media

 

RFID tag, but the RFID encoder indicated that the tag could

 

 

not be written to or read from.

 

 

 

Tag Comm Err x

 

The printer software temporarily lost communication with the

Check cable

 

RFID encoder, or communication between the printer

 

 

software and the RFID encoder was not synchronized and

 

 

had to be forced.

 

 

 

Precheck Fail x

 

This failure occurs only when the Precheck Tags menu item

Check media

 

is set to Enable. It indicates that the RFID tag was

 

 

automatically failed since it did not contain the correct

 

 

pre-programmed quality code.

 

 

 

 

NOTE: The x in the error messages represents a number code that

 

 

identifies the area in the printer software where the failure

 

 

occurred.
