Factors Affecting Smart Label Performance

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 18.

Chapter 1 What To Expect When Running Your RFID Application

Smart Label Characteristics

IMPORTANT

Purchase additional smart labels directly from Printronix to

assure the highest level of performance and reliability. See

“How To Order More Smart Labels” on page 12.

For a list of currently supported tag types, download the certified

smart labels brochure available at www.printronix.com.

Currently supported smart labels have the following characteristics:

General Tag Type

•UHF 915 MHz radio frequency

Technology Tag Type

•EPC Class 0 tags – 64 data bits Read Only

•EPC Class 0 tags – 96 data bits Read Only

•EPC Class 0+ tags – 64 data bits Read/Write

•EPC Class 0+ tags – 96 data bits Read/Write

NOTE: For Class 0+ tags, the AWID multi-protocol reader used by

Printronix enforces the EPC format in the following manner:

•For 96–bit data, the two most significant bits must be 0.

•For 64–bit data, the two most significant bits must be 1.

•EPC Class 1 tags – 64 data bits Read/Write

•EPC Class 1 tags – 96 data bits Read/Write

•EPC Class 1.19 tags – 96 data bits Read/Write

Label Size

4 x 2, 4 x 4, 4 x 6, 4 x 8 inch label stock

Inlay Style
