Designing an RFID Smart Label

RFID Tag Data Read: This property is set to Yes, if you have the printer and/or the tag type
that allows the extraction of the encoded data. You can extract all or part of the data encoded in
the RFID tag and use it with the label objects.
Tag Settings: This section provides more control for RFID programming.
Antenna offset: To achieve better programming accuracy use this option to define the offset
for the antenna in the printer. The Offset is the distance from the antenna to the embedded tag
on the label. This option will help you program the tags more accurately.
Maximum tags to stop: When the programming of the RFID tag fails, usually the word
"VOID" is printed on the label. With this option you can specify how many tags can be
programmed incorrectly. The option can be used as a precaution measure to prevent endless
consumption of labels.
Number of retries: The number of times the printer will try to program the tag if first attempt
fails. The parameter is sent to the printer with the rest of the data.
Check for a valid tag: Before the tag programming begins, the printer will verify if there is a
proper RFID tag available in the smart label. The printer will also verify if the tag can be
programmed at all. If the printer cannot check the currently selected RFID tag, the option will
not be accessible.
Verify data write: Once the data has been encoded into the RFID tag, the printer will check if
the written data is equal to the original value.
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) settings
EAS is not available for all printers and drivers. If your RFID Tag Settings do not include EAS
Settings, you may need to update your printer driver or select a different printer. For more
information, see your printer and driver documentation.
Preserve original EAS setting: The original EAS setting cannot be retrieved, but the default
option assumes that the tag setting should remain unchanged.
Enable EAS: Enable Electronic Article Surveillance in the RFID tag. If this was the original
setting, the tag will remain unchanged.
Disable EAS: Disable Electronic Article Surveillance in the RFID tag. If this was the original
setting, the tag will remain unchanged.
Permanently lock EAS tag setting: Checking this box will permanently lock the chosen setting
for the EAS. This lock cannot be undone.
