SCOPE

This document is to serve as a guide on how to create RFID data using Label Gallery Plus/

TruePro software. It will include menu selection and all relative command code sequences.

OVERVIEW

The Alien Technologies RFID Reader and antenna are integrated into printer among the

standard components. A data cable connects the main circuit board to the RFID Reader. The

Reader is, in turn, connected to the antenna by its own antenna cable. Through software

configuration and hardware installation, the printer is then capable of writing and verifying EPC

Class-1 RFID tags. Tag location and orientation within the label is critical to the performance of

the unit.

All “e” series, plug-in interfaces may be used with the RFID print engine, including Ethernet and

802.11b wireless interfaces.

The following process details the steps involved in writing to the EPC tag:

EXT CONNECTOR

The EXT Port pin-out information for the RFID has changed slightly to accomodate the addition

of a “tag error” output. The tag error output is available on PIN 3. The “Ribbon Out” output,

formerly found at PIN 3, has been combined with the “Label Out” output on PIN 1. PIN 1 will now

provide a “Media Out” (ribbon and/or label) error. The PIN 3 signal polarity is the same for “tag

Error” as it was for “Ribbon Out” previously.

PIN ASSIGNMENTS

PIN DESCRIPTION DIRECTION

1 Media Out - Pin goes low (0V) when label or ribbon is out. Output

2 Signal Ground Reference

3RFID Tag Error - Pin goes low (0V) when a bad RFID tag is identified and

begins to feed from the printer. Output

Printer Error - Pin goes low (0V) when the printer detects an error condition

such as head open, receiving buffer full or when the user specified number of

RFID errors has been reached.

Output

5 Print Start - The printer will print one label when this pin is pulled to ground. Input

6End Print - Used to drive an applicator or other external device requiring

synchonization with the print cycle. Output

7 Reprint - Prints a duplicate of the last label when this signal is received. Input

8 Reserved. Input

9 Offline - Pin goes low (0V) when the printer is offline. Output

Ribbon Near End - Pin goes high when the amount of ribbon on the unwind

shaft is approximately 46 feet (14 m). The ouput will be low when the ribbon

is gone.

Output

11 Reserved Output

12 +24 +/- 10% @ 2A - Power for external devices. Output

13 Vcc - +5V Output

14 Frame Ground Reference

NOTE: If backfeed is set to occur “After Print”, the RFID tag will be in the

improper location relative to the antenna and the tag will not be programmed.

RFID SPECIFIC MENU ITEMS

The LCD menu items specific to RFID are located in the Service Mode menu area. To reach the

Service Mode menu area, power the printer on while pressing and holding the LINE and FEED

keys. Release the keys upon hearing the printer beep. Press the LINE key twice, and then the

FEED key to enter the Service Mode menu items.

The following LCD menus are specific to RFID operation:

RFID MENUS

DISPLAY DESCRIPTION

Sets the number of times the printer will attempt to re-encode

and re-print data following a Tag Error. The printer will enter the

error mode when the entered number of retries has been met.

The default is 00. The range is 00 to 99.

Sets the printer response after the “REPRINT CONT” has

been reached. When “STOP” is selected, the printer will enter

an error state that can be cleared by pressing the LINE key.

Selecting “AUTO” will allow the error to be cleared by the next

PRINT START signal from the applicator.

Sets the RFID Tag Error output for either a level signal or a

pulse signal. The default is Level.

When “PULSE” is selected in the previous menu, the length of

the pulse can be set through this menu item. The default is

100ms. The range is 100 to 500 ms increments.

Selecting “YES” prints the message “RFID TAG ERROR” and

a diagonal slash through the label. For the slash to print to the

size of the label, the Media Size command (<ESC>A1) must

be included in the data stream. Selecting “NO” prints only the

message “RFID TAG ERROR” at the top of the label. The

default is YES.

LABEL GALLERY

Open Label Gallery Plus. The following main menu screen will appear.

Click on FILE of the upper task bar and then click on NEW from the menu options. The Label

Setup Wizard screen for Select Printer will display as shown below.

Click on the menu scroll-down arrow and select the RFID printer driver relative to the printer of

use. Make other screen selections as deemed necessary and then click on the NEXT button until

the Label Dimensions screen appaers. The Label Dimensions screen is shown below.

SATO RFID User Guide PN 9001147B Page 6

Move the mouse cursor to each Label Dimension field and enter the required dimensions to

properly format for the print job at hand. Click on the FINISH button when complete and the

following Label Gallery screen will appear with a blank label present.

Click on DATA of the upper task bar and then select the RF DATA option. The following RF TAG

screen will appear.

SATO RFID User Guide PN 9001147B Page 7

Click on the scoll-down arrow for the Type field and select the Alien - EPC (class 1) 64 bit menu

option or the type of inlay desired.

Next, click on the scoll-down arrow for the Data Type field and select either ASCII or Hex

Encoded String option.

ASCII Allows the data to be entered as full ASCII table and the

software changes over to HEX when sending it to the

printer. For a 64 bit tag selection, eight (8) digits must

be used and for a 96 bit selection, twleve (12) digits

must be used.

HEX Allows the data to entered using 0 through 9 and A

through F. The exact data is sent to the printer’s chip.

For a 64 bit tag selection, sixteen (16) digits must be

used and for 96 bit selection, twenty-four (24) digits

must be used.

Note that this data may also be substituted with a variable previously created in Label Gallery by

selecting the Variable option for the Data Source ratio.

EPC encoding translators may also be used by selecting that relative box on the screen. When

checked, select the type of EPC encoding you wish to use and then fill in the data values which

show up as shown on the following screen.

SATO RFID User Guide PN 9001147B Page 8

Click on the OK button when complete and the label will show up on the next screen with the

RFID inlay outlined around the label. Refer to the screen below.
