    The intent of the kit is to provide a complete environment for the printing and encoding of RFID smart labels right out of the box. Printronix has specifically designed this kit to help you fast track your RFID printer application through the use of a suite of Software Migration Tools (SMT).

  • Page 11: What To Expect When Running Your Rfid Application

    Static electricity can damage the smart labels. Open the media cover of the printer and touch an unpainted metal part of the printer before you handle smart labels. This will discharge any static electricity that may have built up on your hands.

    In None mode, no specific action is taken when a tag fails to be programmed. In Stop mode, when a tag fails to be programmed, the printer will halt and display the error message “RFID Error: Check Media.” The label is discarded and reprinting of the label (if desired) must be initiated from the host.
