SUCESSIVE MEMORY WRITES IN AN RFID INTERROGATOR

摘要

A high speed tabletop and industrial printer is disclosed with integrated high speed RFID encoding and verification at the same time. The industrial printer simultaneously prints on and electronically encodes/verifies RFID labels, tags, and/or stickers attached to a continuous web. The industrial printer comprises a lighted sensor array for indexing the printing to the RFID tags; and a cutter powered from the industrial printer for cutting the web that the RFID tags are disposed on. The industrial printer comprises two RFID reader/writers that are individually controlled. Specifically, one of the RFID reader/writers comprises the ability to electronically encode the RFID tags while the web is moving; and the second RFID reader/writer uses an additional RFID module and antenna on the printer for verifying the data encoded to the RFID tags. The printer provides for successive writes to various memory blocks and optimizes the communication sequence between the interrogator and tag.

主权项

1. A process for optimizing radio frequency identification (RFID) encoding by reducing the time required to complete a user defined function, comprising the steps of:
creating a high level configurable command stack optimization operation; issuing individual commands via an RFID printer as one command; allowing an RFID interrogator to process all the individual commands at once; and responding to all the individual commands.
