Settings

Settings tab of the RFID Tag dialog allows you to configure various tag settings related to its structure and programming.

All available settings are listed in a table under the Settings group:

• Antenna offset: defines distance between the top of the label and the embedded RFID inlay.

• Power attenuation: specifies radio output power. Use it to adjust RF emission power from the antenna.

• Maximum tags to stop: specifies how many tags are allowed to be programmed incorrectly before the printing of labels stops. The option can be used as a precautionary measure because it prevents endless consumption of erroneous labels. When the programming of the RFID tag fails, usually the word "VOID" is printed on the label.

• Number of retries: specifies the number of times the printer tries to program the tag if the initial attempt fails. The parameter is sent to the printer along with the rest of the data.

• Check for valid tag: before the tag programming begins, printer verifies if a proper RFID tag is available on the smart label. The printer also verifies if the tag is programmable.

• Verify data write: once the data has been encoded into the RFID tag, the printer checks if the written data is equal to the original value.

• Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS): is an anti-theft system used where an electronically-detectable tag is attached to the item.

  • Preserve original EAS setting: original EAS setting cannot be retrieved, but the default option assumes that the tag setting should remain unchanged.

  • Enable EAS: enables surveillance in the RFID tag. If this was the original setting, the tag would remain unchanged.

  • Disable EAS: disable surveillance in the RFID tag. If this was the original setting, the tag would remain unchanged.

  • Permanently lock EAS tag setting: permanently locks the chosen setting for the EAS. This lock cannot be undone.
