Read and Display RFID Tag Data

When this option is selected, the reader attempts to read a tag over the RFID antenna, even if the printhead is open. Results are displayed in

RFID TAG DATA hexadecimal format. The printer rereads the tag every 2 seconds, so if the tag changes, data is displayed for the current tag over the antenna.

•If no tag data can be read, the text NO DATA appears on the bottom line of the LCD display.

•If a tag is present, the data for that tag appears on the bottom line of the display in hexadecimal format. If there is more data than can fit on the bottom line (such as for 96-bit tags), the bottom line will cycle from the first 8 bytes (most significant) to the next 4 bytes (least significant) approximately every 2 seconds. The hexadecimal data that can fit on two screens is displayed and cycled through.

For example, if the tag contains the data

0x112233445566778899001122, when this option is selected, the bottom line of the display shows: 1122334455667788 for 2 seconds followed by 99001122 for 2 seconds. The printer cycles through these indefinitely.

To read RFID tag data:

1.Position an RFID label with its transponder over the RFID antenna (coupler) location (1). No movement occurs.
