4B Printing and Encoding

Once you have a successful write test, you are ready to print from your RFID equipped software program! Refer to the printing application’s documentation for details on RFID printing. A trial version of Bartender is included on the installation disc. You will have to start the 30-day trial on at least the Professional version to encode RFID.

To add RFID encoding to a label design using Bartender, once the label size has been chosen and the blank label is on screen, click the Standard RFID button on the lower left to display all RFID options. Simply drag the desired data format to the area around the label. Double click on the icon that appears to set the data or data source.

Note on Encoding Errors: During printing from any application if an encoding error appears, PrintHub will appear and display an error. It will try to encode again after making calibration adjustments. If it fails to encode, by default a series of XXXXs will automatically be printed on the label to indicate that it was not encoded properly. The job will then continue.
