RFID CONTROL Submenus
53
Precheck Tags
When this menu item is set to Enable, the RFID encoder checks the
tags for a pre-programmed quality code. If the code is absent, the
tag immediately fails and the selected Error Handling mode is
performed (Overstrike, None, or Stop). The default is Disable.
Overstrike Style
This menu item selects the style of the overstrike pattern. The
default is Grid.
When it is set to Grid, a grid pattern prints when it overstrikes.
When it is set to Error Type Msg, an error message prints that
indicates which error occurred (see Table 1).
NOTE: The
x
in the error messages represents a number code that
identifies the area in the printer software where the failure
occurred.
