This guide presents a systematic overview of important media requirements, setup options, and modes of use for A-Class Mark II RFID-equipped printers. Note: To use the RFID option, the printer’s firmware version must be 12.03 or greater. Downloads can be found at ftp://ftp.datamax-oneil.com/Printer Firmware.
Step 2: Know the Printer For ease of use, the following RFID factory default settings can be modified directly from the printer’s front panel: RFID POSITION = 1.
Step 3: Calibrate the RFID Tag To establish the critical tag to transducer distance setting and nominal power requirements, the printer features two different RFID tag calibration methods: Quick and Standard. As shown below, while the amount of operator interaction differs, both calibration methods accomplish the same result.
Step 4: RFID Programming Modes The printer features two different operational modes for RFID tag programming: Direct Mode allows the user (Host) to control the reading and writing of the RFID tag directly. Containing both a generic read/write interface and a high-level tag UHF-specific interface, each RFID tag is individually processed with status and data responses.
