RFID Symptoms

RFID tags generally not programmed

Is the printer set up correctly? Print a configuration label to verify RFID version. See “Auto Calibration” on page 14.

Check if supported RFID media is loaded correctly.

VOID messages are printed across media.

Verify tag type is properly selected in ZPL II. Use RFID media with supported tag type. Edit ZPL II to select proper tag type or increase retries.

ZPL II is attempting to write to a non-existent block. Some tags’ blocks are identified as 0-7. If ZPL II attempts to write to block “8,” it will fail.

Verify voided tag on external reader. Discard bad tags if this is a media problem.

Nothing is printed.

See if the correct media is loaded or load new, fresh media.

See if tags can be read/programmed using other hardware.

Verify ZPL II RFID commands. Debug the printing program.

Tag is out of reach of the antenna or too close. Verify tag alignment.

Wrong type of tag was selected. Check ZPL II.

Block is write protected. Ensure that the tag is not write protected.

Aluminum and other metals within tag may interfere with read/write. Make sure media meets requirements.

Increase the number of retries in the ZPL II commands.

Time out may have occurred during internal communication. Cycle power and try printing label again.

Call a service technician if you have been unsuccessful in getting your expected print out and data.
