Abstract
A program executed by a computer for measuring an optimum feed amount to an RFID antenna from a print standby position of a printer which reads and writes data from/on an RFID tag by feeding a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and then prints on the label surface by feeding the label or tag in the reverse direction, having step of performing a read/write test to the RFID tag whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed amount from a print standby position, and a step of outputting the result of the read/write test visibly performed in the steps.

A program stored in a medium readable by a computer for measuring an optimum feed amount to an RFID antenna from a print standby position of a printer which reads and writes data from/on an RFID tag by feeding a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and then prints on the label surface by feeding the label or tag in the reverse direction, comprising:
- testing the RFID tag for reading/writing whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed feed amount from a print standby position, and
- outputting the result of the read/write test visibly.
A program stored in a medium readable by a computer for measuring an optimum feed amount to an RFID antenna from a print standby position of a printer which reads and writes data from/on an RFID tag by feeding a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and then prints on the label surface by feeding the label or tag in the reverse direction, comprising:
- testing the RFID tag for reading whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed feed amount from a print standby position, and
- outputting the result of the read test visibly.

A method of measuring an optimum feed amount to an RFID antenna from a print standby position of a printer which reads and writes data from/on an RFID tag by feeding a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and then prints on the label surface by feeding the label or tag in the reverse direction, comprising:
- testing the RFID tag for reading whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed feed amount from a print standby position, and
- outputting the result of the read test visibly.
A method of measuring an optimum feed amount to an RFID antenna from a print standby position of a printer which reads and writes data from/on an RFID tag by feeding a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and then prints on the label surface by feeding the label or tag in the reverse direction, comprising:
- testing the RFID tag for writing whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed feed amount from a print standby position, and
- outputting the result of the write test visibly.
A printer having an RFID read/write function to read/write an RFID tag of a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and print on the surface of the label or tag, comprising:
- a test unit configured to perform a read/write test to the RFID tag whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed amount from a print standby position;
- and
- a output device configured to output the result of the read/write test visibly.
A printer having an RFID read/write function to read/write an RFID tag of a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and print on the surface of the label or tag, comprising:
- a test unit configured to perform a read test to the RFID tag whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed amount from a print standby position;
- and
- a output device configured to output the result of the read/write test visibly.
A printer having an RFID read/write function to read/write an RFID tag of a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and print on the surface of the label or tag, comprising:
- a test unit configured to perform a write test to the RFID tag whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed amount from a print standby position;
- and
- a output device configured to output the result of the read/write test visibly.
A printer having an RFID read/write function to read/write an RFID tag of a label or tag containing an RFID tag, and print on the surface of the label or tag, comprising:
- a read/write unit configured to read and write from/in the RFID tag whenever the label or tag is fed by a fixed amount from a print standby position;
- a take-in unit configured to take in the feed amount based on the results of the reading and writing;
- and
- an issue unit configured to feed the label or tag based on the feed amount taken in by the take-in unit, and performs printing, when a command to issue a label or tag is received.
