Common causes

  • 1Defective RFID chip in the label.
  • 2Chip position out of the antenna read range.
  • 3Interference from metal or liquids near the reading area.
  • 4Incorrect encoding frequency selection.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the error appears constantly when trying to encode, check if the label chip is correctly oriented toward the printer's antenna.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Verify the label is compatible with UHF EPC Gen 2.
  2. Adjust the RFID antenna position to match the chip location on the label.
  3. Run an automatic RFID calibration.
  4. Try with a label from a different production batch.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Store RFID labels away from electromagnetic interference or metal objects. Use certified quality supplies for industrial printers.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after trying to calibrate different label batches, the printer's internal antenna might be misaligned or faulty.

Frequently asked questions

This error signifies that the RFID reader could not write or read the chip within the label, often due to a misplaced inlay or defective labels.

It shouldn't happen often; if it does, the roll might be damaged or the labels may not meet recommended specifications.

Use original Zebra or ZT620-certified RFID labels, ensuring the inlay is of the correct frequency and size.

Ensure the inlay position aligns with the antenna sensor in the 'RFID' menu and that the label width is set correctly.
