Designing Labels
Unique RF Tag: This property is set to Yes, if you have the printer and/or the
tag type that can provide you with the Unique Tag ID. Each tag has a unique ID
encoded already in the production line. If your printer can read this information
from the tag, you can use it with the label objects using RFID Tag Contents
contents provider.
For example: The printer scans Unique Tag ID, remembers it and prints it on
the label encoded in a bar code element. The value of Unique Tag is never
returned to the labeling software. It is handled internally by the printer.
RFID Tag Data Read: This property is set to Yes, if you have the printer
and/or the tag type that allows the extraction of the encoded data. You can
extract all or part of the data encoded in the RFID tag and use it with the label
objects.
Tag Settings: This section provides more control for RFID programming.
Antenna offset: To achieve better programming accuracy of the tags here is the
option to define the offset for the antenna in the printer. This is the distance
from the antenna to the to the embedded tag on the label. This option will help
you program the tags more accurately.
Maximum tags to stop: When the programming of the RFID tag fails, usually
the word "VOID" is printed on the label. With this option you can specify how
many tags can be programmed wrongly, before the printing of labels stops. The
option can be used as a precaution measure to prevent endless consumption of
labels.
Number of retries: The number of times the printer will try to program the tag
if first attempt fails. The parameter is sent to the printer with the rest of the data.
Check for a valid tag: Before the tag programming begins, the printer will
verify if there is a proper RFID tag available in the smart label. The printer will
also verify if the tag can be programmed at all. If the printer cannot check the
currently selected RFID tag, the option will not be accessible.
Verify data write: Once the data has been encoded into the RFID tag, the
printer will check if the written data is equal to the original value.
EAS Settings: This section provides settings for Electronic Article Surveillance.
EAS is not available for all printers and drivers. If your RFID Tag Settings do
not include EAS Settings, you may need to update your printer driver or select a
different printer. For more information, see your printer and driver
documentation.
Preserve original EAS setting: The original EAS setting cannot be retrieved,
but the default option assumes that the tag setting should remain unchanged.
Enable EAS: Enable Electronic Article Surveillance in the RFID tag. If this
was the original setting, the tag will remain unchanged.
Disable EAS: Disable Electronic Article Surveillance in the RFID tag. If this
was the original setting, the tag will remain unchanged.
