Write Retries

Write Retries is the number of times the interrogator tries to program the
RFID tag in the RF Field. If the interrogator fails to program the RFID
tag, 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 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 Retries setting. The range is one to five, with a default
setting of three. Maximum throughput results when tags are programmed
on the first try.

If Write Retries is set to one, the printer’s throughput may be increased;
however, a good RFID tag may be reported as not programmable. If
Write Retries is set to five, the printer’s throughput may be decreased;
however, the number of RFID tags programmed may or may not increase.
