RF Power (Read/Write Settings)
Use the RF Power menu to set the Read and Write power settings. The
Read and Write Power settings increase the strength of the RF Field
emitted by the printer’s antenna. The higher the value, the greater the
power of the RF Field.
If either the Read or Write Power settings are too high or too low, you
may not be able to read the tags or you may change the data that was
programmed in to adjacent RFID tags.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when increasing or decreasing
the Read and Write Powers because the RFID tags
may become non-functional!
