Brady WavePoint™ XE2000 User's Guide Encoding Smart Labels with the XE2000

Delay for Encoding

A delay is required during the printing process in order for the

XE2000 to encode the label.

The label creation software sends a print job to the printer and is

aware when the printer is finished accepting the job. However, the

label creation software is not aware of when the label is actually

printed and has come to a stop.

Therefore, the delay for encoding is based—primarily—on the time it

takes for the printer to physically print the label; and, possibly, for

the printer to backfeed the label into the printer (for printing).

A large variety of thermal transfer printers, RFID Smart Label sizes,

and label creation software packages exist. Therefore the delay

required is usually different for the variety of applications and must

be set accordingly to that application.

Refer to Appendix B – Delay for Encoding, for more information.
