Prioritize The printer settings can be prioritized to override the command settings and we do recommend you do this to avoid any erroneous settings in the command reaching the printer. Command settings are those created in the label design software and the default setting on the printer.
OPTIMIZED ENCODING SETTINGS FOR OMNI-ID LABELS To achieve the best performance when encoding, the power should be set to the certified level. This level has been validated to ensure that adjacent labels are not programmed in error (*). (*) due to the size of the small IQ Label tags the sensor in the print head can sometimes detect the information from the tag behind, so it is necessary to change the sensor pitch to read the right tag and print the associated information.

LABEL ORIENTATION Omni-ID IQ Label tags are supplied on the roll with the media facing out and the antenna facing up. This is the position the labels should be retained in for successful encoding and printing. If in any instance you unroll the labels (i.e. to split a large roll into a smaller roll), you must ensure to re- roll them in the correct orientation.
