Setting The Write Attempts - Monarch 9855 Application Notes

Setting the Write Attempts

Write Attempts is the number of times the interrogator tries to program
the HF RFID microchip in the RF Field. If the interrogator fails to
program the RFID microchip, an RFID error is generated. See "RFID
Errors" for more information. When an RFID error is generated, the
printer may automatically print an overstrike pattern. See "Setting the
Error Action" for more information.
If the HF RFID tag is programmed on the first try, the module proceeds to
the next step in the cycle. If not, the module attempts to program the tag
up to the Write Attempts setting. The range is one to four, with a default
setting of three. Maximum throughput results when tags are programmed
on the first try.
If Write Attempts is set to one, the printer's throughput may be increased;
however, a good RFID tag may be reported as not programmable.
If Write Attempts is set to four, the printer's throughput may be
decreased; however, the number of RFID tags programmed may or may
not increase.
