The following options are available:
Encoder Type: Specifies the RFID tag type. All tag types that are supported by the current printer are listed.
Action: Specifies the action that the encoder performs at print time.
Lock after writing data: Specifies that the encoder locks after it writes data to the data location.
|
|
Lock after writing data is available only when the encoder type is RAIN RFID - EPC or RAIN RFID - ISO, you selected Lock Permanently for the User Block option on the Security property page, and you selected Lock modified blocks when specified in the User Memory Access Control Options dialog. |
Data Location
The Data Location options specify what part of the transponder should be programmed at print time and whether the programming is protected from later reprogramming. The options that are available depend on the RFID tag type that you select and include the following:
Location: Specifies the location of the data to be encoded into the RFID object.
Start Block: Specifies the block in the circuit where the printer starts to write information. A block is a set of bits (typically, eight bits). Some tag types reserve certain blocks, so you must specify the block at which the printer should begin.
BarTender suggests a starting block. You should change this setting only if you are thoroughly familiar with the specifications of your tag type.
Application: Specifies the RFID application. When you select a preconfigured application, such as Vehicle Identification Number, the value of the AFI field is automatically set and cannot be changed. Available for the RAIN RFID - ISO encoder type when UII - Unique Item Identifier is selected in the Location list.
AFI: Specifies the application family identifier (AFI). Available for the RAIN RFID - ISO encoder type when Custom is selected in the Application list.
Write Protect Blocks: Specifies that the RFID object's data cannot be changed after the printer has programmed it. Not available for all tag types.
Data Format
Data Type: Specifies the data format type. Whenever the data format type is changed, the available data sources are updated to match the required data for the selected type.
For a list of all available data format types, refer to Available Data Format Types for RFID and Smart Card Objects.
Encoding Scheme: Specifies the encoding scheme to use. Available when Custom Scheme is selected in the Data Type list.
Encoder Options: Opens the printer driver's RFID Options dialog.
DIN SPEC 91406: Specifies that the RFID encoder conforms to the DIN SPEC 91406 standard specifications. Available for encoder types that support DIN SPEC 91406.
