Chapter 3 RFID CONTROL Menu
• Alien Itag 96
Class 1, read/write, 96 bits, 6 inches wide
Error Handling
This menu item selects the error handling mode for RFID failures. The default
is Overstrike.
In Overstrike mode, each failed label prints with the Overstrike pattern and the
form retries on a new label until the Label Retry count is exhausted. Whether
or not an error message will display or the failed label will reprint depends
upon the Max Retry Error setting.
In None mode, no specific action is taken when a tag fails to be programmed.
In Stop mode, when a tag fails to be programmed, the printer will halt and
display the error message “RFID Error: Check Media.” The label is discarded
and reprinting of the label (if desired) must be initiated from the host. When
the error is cleared, the label with the failed tag moves forward until the next
label is in position to be printed.
Label Retry
NOTE: Label Retry only applies when the Error Handling mode is set to
Overstrike.
This menu item selects the number of label retries that the RFID encoder will
attempt before declaring a fault. This may indicate a problem with the RFID
encoder, the antenna assembly, the printer setup, or the label stock. The
default is 10.
Max Retry Error
This menu item enables or disables the Max Retry Error menu item. If it is set
to Disable, errors are not declared and the print content for the current label is
discarded. The default is Enable.
Tag Write Cnt
This menu item displays on the control panel’s LCD the number of tags
written since the last Clear Tag Stat operation has been initiated. (See “Clear
Tag Stat” below.)
Failed Tag Cnt
This menu item displays on the control panel’s LCD the number of failed tag
write attempts since the last Clear Tag Stat operation has been initiated. (See
“Clear Tag Stat” below.)
