Setting Read/Write Information
Configure settings for reading or writing information from the inlay, such as the antenna used, signal output power, and print position.
- To set [Antenna Type], [Antenna Position], [Write Power], [Read Power], and [Tag Offset], consult your SATO representative.
- Using the Easy RFID Configuration feature of All-In-One Tool allows you to configure RFID settings more efficiently and accurately.
For details, refer to All-In-One Tool V2 User's Manual.
[RFID] > [Antenna Type]
Select the RFID antenna to be used.
-
[Normal]
Use a standard antenna (adjustable). -
[Front]
Use a short pitch antenna (fixed position).
Initial value: [Normal]
[RFID] > [Antenna Position]
Use a standard antenna. You can specify the vertical position of the standard antenna.
Initial value: [Forward]
[RFID] > [Write Power] / [Read Power]
Set the radio wave output power when writing or reading data to the inlay.
The setting range varies depending on the country and region in which the device is being used.
Initial value: 15 dBm
[RFID] > [Paper]
[Type]
Set the media type of the RFID tag.
-
[Label]
Use the normal RFID tag. -
[Side Hole Tag]
Use the side hole tag.
- Media feed direction
Initial value: [Label]
[Starting Point]
Adjust the print start position for the RFID tag by setting '+' to move the print position in the direction opposite to the feed direction and '-' to move it in the feed direction.
- Media feed direction
- Print position before adjustment
- Print position after adjustment in the plus direction
- Print position after adjustment in the minus direction
-600 to 600 dots (initial value: 0)
- When setting the media feed direction to a positive value, do not set the total value of other print position adjustment values to 25 mm (0.98") or more. If you set the value to 25 mm (0.98") or more, the printing operation may not stop normally.
[RFID] > [Tag Offset]
[Encoding Action]
[Tag Offset]
Set the position at which to start writing data to the inlay. Printing is paused and data is written to an inlay on each tag at the point where the inlay passes over the product's RFID antenna, which is at the distance, from the antenna position, specified in this setting.
This setting is used when the inlay does not correspond to the product's antenna position.
The setting range varies depending on the setting for [Encoding Action].
- When [Encoding Action] is set to [Normal Action]
- 203 dpi/305 dpi: -30 to 240 mm (-1.18 to 9.45")
- 609 dpi: -30 to 108 mm (-1.18 to 4.25")
- When [Encoding Action] is set to [Feed Action]
-30 to 30 mm (-1.18 to 1.18")
When anything other than [Continuous] is selected under [Printing] > [Print Mode], the minimum value is 0 mm (0").
- The range of negative values differ according to the print speed or the media sensor type. If a negative value is set, when the media position is not fixed due to reasons such as the print head lock being released during media replacement, one tag will be fed before the negative offset operation is executed.
Initial value: 0 mm (0")
