How to Enter RFID Module Setting Mode

Turn on the printer while pressing the [FEED] and [PAUSE] keys at the same time. Hold both keys until the “<1>DIAG. Vx.x” Message appears.

<1>DIAG. Vx.x

Press the [RESTART] key or [FEED] key until “<10>RFID” appears.

2.9.1RFID Read Test

This parameter is to choose whether to perform an RFID read test. When using an RFID module for the first time, or when performing an RFID read test after performing a parameter clear, it is necessary to set the RFID module parameters in advance. Refer to Section 2.9.2.

When “<10>RFID” appears, press the [PAUSE] key.

[FEED] or [RESTART]

<10>RFID

READ TEST OFF

[PAUSE]

<10>RFID

READ TEST ON

[PAUSE]

The next menu will appear without performing a read test. Refer to Section 2.9.2.

A read test will be performed.

As this read test is intended to just read a tag, if you would like to perform a write test, use RFID Analyse Tool. Refer to Section 5.

<Read Test Procedure>

1)Place a TOSHIBA-recommended RFID tag as close as the antenna. NOTE: Available RFID tag

B-SX708-RFID-U2-EU-R, B-SX708-RFID-U2-CN-R: EPC C1 Gen2

2)The printer enters the read test mode, and a read test is performed each time the [PAUSE] key is pressed. The read data on the tag is displayed on the LCD message display. If the tag cannot be read, “RFID TIMEOUT” or “RFID READ ERROR” is displayed. Only the tags selected by the RFID tag type selection can be read. An RFID tag read error will result if the type of the tag to be read and the type of the tag selected by the RFID tag type selection do not match. Make sure the RFID tag type has been selected before the read test is started.

Example (Q value = 0)

1234567890123456

6543210987654321

Example (Q value = 1)

1234567890123456

65432109 (0E)

The data, displayed in hex. numbers. Displayed data is an EPC code in the EPC area.

When the RFID tag contains data of 16 digits or more, the first 16 digits are displayed. When data volume is less than 16 digits, the vacant digits will be filled with spaces.

In the case the Q value is set to 1 or greater, the AGC value of a read tag, enclosed with parentheses, is displayed on the right most place on the lower line. Therefore, 14-byte data is displayed in hex. code.

Additionally, if more than one tag is read at one time, especially when short-pitch tags are used, pressing the [FEED] or [RESTART] key shows the other tags’ data. Among them, a tag with the highest AGC value is considered to be positioned just above the antenna.
