RP4T Printers Manual Introduction P4T Overview Maintenance Printer Preparation Troubleshooting Connecting the Printer Specifications Radio Regulatory Information Appendices P4T/RP4T User Guide Model RP4T RFID Encoder The information in this section is provided for your convenience only and is subject to change. Go to h t t p://w w w.e p c g l o b a l i n c .o r g fo r the la te s t E PC information. The RP4T printer is equipped with an RFID encoder/reader, which is integrated into the printer’s printhead assembly. The RP4T encodes (writes) information on ultra-thin UHF RFID transponders that are embedded in “smart” labels, tickets, and tags. The printer encodes the information; verifies proper encoding; and prints bar codes, graphics, and/or text on the label’s surface. The RP4T printer uses Zebra’s extensive set of RFID commends running under ZPL programming language emulation. The RFID transponder is sometimes called the RFID tag or an inlay. The transponder is usually made of an antenna that is bonded to an integrated circuit (IC) chip. The IC chip contains the RF circuit, coders, decoders, and memory. If you hold an RFID label up to the light, you can see the transponder’s antenna, and you can feel a bump in the label where the IC chip is located. The RP4T can encode and verify EPC (Electronic Product Code) Generation 2 Class 1 UHF passive RFID tags, in addition to printing human readable text and conventional 1 and 2-D barcode information on Zebra supplied RFID thermal transfer media. EPC is a product numbering standard that can be used to identify a variety of items by using RFID technology. EPC Generation 2 tags offer advantages over other tag types. The tag identification (TID) memory in a Generation 2 tag includes the chip manufacturer and model number information, which can be used to identify which optional features are present on the tag. These optional features include those for data content and security. Gen 2 tags typically have a 96-bit EPC identifier, which is different from the 64-bit identifiers common in early EPC tags. The 96-bit EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing product-specific information along the supply chain. Gen 2 tags also support much larger data structures. The size of user memory available (if any) varies by the model and manufacturer of the tag. Generation 2 Class 1 UHF Passive Tags Supported By The P4T Alien Squiggle Avery Dennison Raflatac Onetenna Omron Wave Encoding and printing of an RFID label usually are completed on the first try, but some failures may occur. If you experience consistent encoding failures, it may signal a problem with the RFID tags, your label formats, or with the transponder placement. If an RFID tag cannot be encoded, “VOID” will be printed on the label. The printer then attempts to read/encode “n” labels before the next format is attempted, where “n” is specified by the ZPL programming language “^RS” command. Acceptable values of “n” are 1 to 10 and the default is 3. After printing the defined number of voided RFID labels, printer will go into an error mode. The printer response to an error is defined by the RFID Setup command and will allow: 1. No Action (Label format causing the error is dropped) 2. Notification to the Host of the details of the error (Label format causing the error is dropped). The user has control of where on the label the VOID is printed. More information on the “^RS” command may be found in Zebra’s RFID Programming Guide available on the corporate Web site. Index Print quality will be reduced when attempting to print over the transponder portion of an RFID label. It is recommended that RFID label layouts should not allow printing over the RFID transponder portion of a label. 31 RP4T Printers Manual Introduction P4T Overview Maintenance Printer Preparation Troubleshooting Connecting the Printer Specifications P4T/RP4T User Guide Preventive Maintenance Extending Battery Life • Avoid exposing the battery to direct sunlight or temperatures over 104 °F (40 °C). • Always use a Zebra charger designed specifically for LithiumIon batteries. Use of any other kind of charger may damage the battery. Caution • Do not print while an LI72 Single Charger is plugged into the unit. Unreliable battery charging can result. • Use the correct media for your printing requirements. An authorized Zebra re-seller can help you determine the optimum media for your application. • If you print the same text or graphic on every label, consider using a preprinted label. • Choose the correct print darkness and print speed for your media. • RP4T printers (with the RFID encoder/reader): adjust the encoder settings to use the minimum power required for the RFID media in use. • Use software handshaking (XON/XOFF) whenever possible. • Use the LCD display backlight only when necessary. Turn it off whenever it is not needed. • Remove the battery from the printer if it won’t be used for a day or more and you’re not performing a maintenance charge. • Consider purchasing an extra battery. • Remember that any rechargeable battery will lose its ability to maintain a charge over time and can be recharged only a finite number of times before it must be replaced. The “Smart Battery” feature of the P4T Series monitors the battery pack’s condition and will prompt you when a battery pack is nearing the end of its useful life. Always dispose of used batteries properly. Refer to Appendix E for more information on proper battery disposal. • When the printer displays “Please Recondition The Battery” and beeps five times, the user should recondition the battery to return it to optimal capacity Refer to the Operator Controls section of this manual for information in reconditioning the battery. General Cleaning Instructions Caution • Always turn the printer off before cleaning. To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the printer, never insert any pointed or sharp objects into the printer. Appendices Radio Regulatory Information Use care when working near the Tear Bar. The edges are very sharp. Caution • The printhead can become very hot after prolonged printing. Allow it to cool off before attempting any cleaning procedures. Caution • Use only cleaning agents specified in the P4T Series cleaning instructions.

Load the media compartment with journal media (media with no black bars printed on the back) 2. Press and hold the Feed Button. 3. Press and release the Power button and keep the Feed button pressed. When printing starts, release the Feed button. 4. The printer will create two reports. The first report is a basic functional test of the printer. It prints a series of interlocking “X” characters which acts as a test of the printhead elements and reports on basic features of the printer including memory installed. The second report is a detailed list of the printer’s configuration, including any options installed (such as radios) and current status of system settings. Refer to Figures 18.1 through 18.2 for a sample configuration label printout. Performing a Forced Shutdown It the printer has locked up and is not responding to any operator inputs or external commands, from either a connected terminal or a linked LAN, you can perform a forced shutdown. • If the printer software locks up during normal operation, force the printer to shut down by pressing and holding the Power Button for 3 seconds. • If you try to turn the printer off normally and the software locks up, the printer will automatically shut itself off after a 10 second delay. • If you try to turn the printer off and it does not respond, you can force an immediate shut down by pressing and holding the Power Button again within 10 seconds. A forced shutdown will preserve the printer’s data and settings. Communications Diagnostics If there’s a problem transferring data between a terminal or WLAN, placing the printer in the Communications Diagnostics Mode (also referred to as the “DUMP” mode) will allow diagnostic analysis. The printer will print transmitted data as ASCII characters and their text representation (or a period “.” if not a printable character) for any data received from the host terminal or network “Press FEED key to enter DUMP mode.” 3. Press the FEED key. The printer will print: “Entering DUMP mode.” Note • If the FEED key is not pressed within 3 seconds, the printer will print “DUMP mode not entered” and will resume normal operation. 4. At this point, the printer is in DUMP mode and will print the ASCII hex codes of any data sent to it, and their text representation (or “.” if not a printable character). Additionally, a file with a “.dmp” extension containing the ASCII information will be created and stored in the printer’s memory. It can be viewed, “cloned” or deleted using the Label Vista application. (Refer the Label Vista documentation for more information.) To terminate the Communications Diagnostics Mode: 1.Turn the printer OFF. 2. Wait 5 seconds. 3. Turn the printer ON. The printer will resume normal operation.

Bluetooth radios are relatively low powered to help prevent interference with other devices running at similar radio frequencies. This limits the range of a Bluetooth device to about 10 meters (about 32 feet). Both the printer and the device it communicates with must follow the Bluetooth standard. Such dual radio equipped P4T units will have an FCC ID: I28-ZB4L AN- 01 and and an Industrie Canada ID: 3798B-ZB4LAN01. The FCC and IC ID numbers and other regulatory information for this radio configuration are also located on the serial number label of printers built for the North American region. Refer to Appendix D of this manual for more information on locating the Product Configuration Code.
