Abstract
A method in a media processing device includes: determining an attribute of a radiofrequency (RF) tag associated with a media supply; receiving a command to write first data to the RF tag; determining whether the first data and the RF tag are compatible based on the attribute; when the first data and the RF tag are incompatible, modifying the first data to generate modified data compatible with the RF tag based on the attribute; and writing the modified data to the RF tag.
Claims16
A method in a media processing device, the method comprising:
- determining an attribute of a radiofrequency (RF) tag associated with a media supply;
- receiving a command to write first data to the RF tag;
- determining whether the first data and the RF tag are compatible based on the attribute;
- when the first data and the RF tag are incompatible, modifying the first data to generate modified data compatible with the RF tag based on the attribute;
- and
- writing the modified data to the RF tag.

A device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a printhead disposed in the housing, the printhead being configured to print on a media supply;
- a radiofrequency (RF) transcoder disposed in the housing;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine an attribute of a radiofrequency (RF) tag associated with the media supply;
- receive a command to write first data to the RF tag;
- determining whether the first data and the RF tag are compatible based on the attribute;
- when the first data and the RF tag are incompatible, modifying the first data to generate modified data compatible with the RF tag based on the attribute;
- and
- control the RF transcoder to write the modified data to the RF tag.
