Chapter 9: Working with RFID Peripherals
Overview
| Exam Objectives | What it Really Means |
|---|---|
| 9.1 Describe installation and configuration of RFID printer (may use scenarios) | Understand smart labels and smart label printer. You must understand how a smart label and smart label printer integrates the traditional barcode technology with RFID technology. You must know the basic installation procedure and the typical properties of the printer that you can configure. You should also understand how the printer handles the errors and how you can troubleshoot the printer encoder. |
| 9.2 Describe ancillary devices/concepts | Understand how automatic label applicators work. You must understand how the automatic label applicators use different label placing techniques: tamp down, blow on, and wipe-on. You must also know how the feedback devices such as photo eye, horn, light tree, and motion sensor help build robust, effective, and automatic RFID systems and networks. |
Introduction
RFID begins where barcode technology ends. A so-called smart label combines a\ barcode with an RFID tag. Smart labels have the intelligence and functionality of a tag and the printing convenience of a barcode label. Therefore, by using smart labels, corporations can leverage their existing labeling infrastructure to incorporate RFID.
Smart labels are created by RFID printers, which are peripheral devices, and they are applied to the items to be tracked by using another peripheral device called an automatic label applicator. The third kind of peripheral or ancillary device used in RFID networks is called a feedback system, which helps build effective, robust, and automatic RFID networks.
