What To Expect When Running Your RFID Application
Factors Affecting Smart Label Performance
Smart labels are based on an EEPROM technology that requires
some time to be programmed. You may notice this minor pause
between labels. This time is necessary to better ensure consistent
quality and improved reliability.
When dealing with smart labels, it is possible that an occasional
RFID tag may need to be written and verified more than once (retry)
before being considered acceptable. In this event each retry time
will be added to the inter-label pause.
Static electricity can damage the smart labels. Open the media
cover of the printer and touch an unpainted metal part of the printer
before you handle smart labels. This will discharge any static
electricity that may have built up on your hands.
Overstruck Smart Labels
If an RFID tag within a smart label is deemed unacceptable after
execution of the defined number of retries, what occurs next
depends upon the Error Handling setting. See “Error Handling” on
page 27.
