Chapter 2 RFID CONTROL Menu

RFID Test (This Test Reads A Tag)
This menu item reads the tag in range of the internal RFID antenna
and reports the tag data to the debug port and momentarily displays
it on the control panel’s LCD. It is primarily intended for
development verification by checking that the system is working.
PreErase Class 0+
Normally, virgin Class 0+ tags are delivered pre-erased, allowing
the printer to encode them directly. If an error occurs during the
initial encoding the ensuing retries will include an automatic erase.
If the tags are used and are known to have been previously written
to then an erase cycle will be necessary.
By enabling the PreErase Class 0+ option an erase cycle will be
forced on the first try. This is applicable when doing loop tests in the
lab.
Auto Retry
This menu item selects the number of automatic (internal) retries
that the RFID encoder will attempt on the same tag before declaring
a tag error and performing the Error Handling mode selected
(Overstrike, Stop, or None). The default is 2.
Custom Tag
This menu item enables or disables the Custom Pwr Set, Custom
Tag Len, and Custom Tag Class menu items (custom tag menus).
The default is Disable.
The custom tag menus allow the RFID encoder to work with tag
types that are not listed in the Tag Type menu item.
NOTE: Printronix cannot guarantee the performance of tag types
not certified by Printronix.
When Custom Tag is set to Disable, the settings in the custom tag
menus are ignored by the RFID encoder.
