Printing RFID Tag Errors

If the recorded data on a tag is incomplete due to writing on a defective tag, the product will print an RFID tag error to the defective media. This function is to prevent the distribution of defective media with a tag error.

When an RFID tag error occurs, the product prints a slash and the error message, such as "WRITE TAG ERROR" or "TAG NOT FOUND". The position to print the message and slash is set using the specified media size command <A1>.

For a write error such as "WRITE TAG ERROR", the product continues to print the first 16 or 32 bytes of the write data.

The diagram below shows the message and slash printed on the position based on the media size specified by the normal print.

• The following figures show an example of Opposite/Right-Hand Type.

WRITE TAG ERROR in RFID Write Command	READ TAG ERROR in RFID Read Command
For other errors, the product prints the error message accordingly.

TAG NOT FOUND Error in RFID Write/Read Command

(1) Feed direction

(2) The origin of the range specified by the media size command <A1>

(3) The range specified with the media size command <A1>

(4) The dump for the first 16 or 32 bytes of the write data

• When a character overlaps with the slash, the character will inverse from black to white.

　

When using a small-size label (about the size of P30 X W40 mm (P1.18" X W1.57"), for example) or not enough for setting margin, the slash and error message are printed overlap on each other. The overlapped area are inverse from black to white. There is no dump printing.

TAG NOT FOUND Error in RFID Write Command

(1) Feed direction

(2) The origin of the range specified by the media size command <A1>

(3) The range specified with the media size command <A1>

If not specified by the media size command <A1>, the product prints the RFID error using a fixed size of P30 X W40 mm (P1.18" X W1.57"). When a character overlaps with the slash, the character will inverse from black to white.

For other errors, the product prints the error message accordingly.

TAG NOT FOUND Error in RFID Write/Read Command

(1) Feed direction

(2) The dump for the first 16 or 32 bytes of the write data

The layout of a tag error print (horizontal position of reference point) varies according to the product orientation as shown below. The vertical position of the reference point and print content do not change.

Standard/Left-Hand Type	Opposite/Right-Hand Type

(1) Feed direction

The types of errors to print are as follows:
