The Benefits of Toshiba B-EX4T1 UHF RFID 4.0" wide Label/Tag Printer Toshiba RFID technology:
SPRiNT (Short Pitch RFiD Encoding Technology) - A bit of a stretch with the acronym but we will let that slide
Toshiba TEC B-EX4T1 - 4.0" width Printer, 300dpi, Type 1 Near edge, Direct Thermal & Thermal Industrial Label UHF RFID Printer RFID module has a shielding element and a collector that allows us to focus the read/write area into a very specific place. This gives us the ability to encode short pitch labels that are very close to each other, without cross-writing to the labels either side of the target label.
This also allows us to encode on tags as they are supplied from manufacture without the need to encapsulate them into a larger label.
Typically this can lead to encoding labels that have a height as small as 12mm with a 3mm gap. (Or to be more accurate a 15mm repeat).
Near Edge Print Head / Ribbon Save
Printing in the area of the RFID chip on the label is generally a bad idea as the print quality is affected by the thickness of the chip. Also the chip can be damaged by the pressure of the print head on the platen roller. Near Edge Print Heads apply significantly less pressure than flat head print heads.
Couple the lower pressure with the ability to ‘Ribbon Save’ to lift the print head over the RFID chip results in fewer chip failures and less wear on the print head.
(Obviously to use ribbon save you have to have a non-printed area across the label in the area of the RFID chip)
Offset Encoding
Toshiba TEC B-EX4T1 - 4.0" width Printer, 300dpi, Type 1 Near edge, Direct Thermal & Thermal Industrial Label UHF RFID Printer RFID encoding antennae does not sit directly in line with the print head in RFID printers. This generally means that the label must be encoded and then printed or printed and then encoded. This process requires the label to be printed/encoded then the printer backfeeds the label and then encodes/prints.
With offset encoding our printers can encode and print different labels at the same time. The print will encode the first label and then print it. While it is printing the first label it is encoding the second, and so on.
(Please note the usefulness of this feature is dependent on label size and position of the RFID chip within that label.)
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
A fairly technical process that allows us to simulate the operation of a tag at ranges outside of the near-field.
Explanation:
When you encode a RFID tag in a printer the tag is positioned very close to the printers RFID antennae. When the printer checks the tag for the ability to read and write this gives an artificially good result because of the closeness of the tag to the antennae. The tag may be readable from 2mm but not at a typical read range in a working environment.
The AGC value allows us to set a threshold of acceptable signal strength. By increasing the required signal strength and failing tags lower than that value we can effectively simulating the results of a more realistic read range.
