Patent number: 11521000Abstract: A high speed tabletop and industrial printer is disclosed with integrated high speed RFID encoding and verification at the same time. The industrial printer simultaneously prints on and electronically encodes/verifies RFID labels, tags, and/or stickers attached to a continuous web. The industrial printer comprises a lighted sensor array for indexing the printing to the RFID tags; and a cutter powered from the industrial printer for cutting the web that the RFID tags are disposed on. The industrial printer comprises two RFID reader/writers that are individually controlled. Specifically, one of the RFID reader/writers comprises the ability to electronically encode the RFID tags while the web is moving; and the second RFID reader/writer uses an additional RFID module and antenna on the printer for verifying the data encoded to the RFID tags.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Avery Dennison Retail Information Services LLCInventors: Jeanne F. Duckett, Richard D. Wirrig, Lance D. Neuhard, David J. Wimmers, Larri B. Williams, James A. Makley, Jan M. Watson, Andrew R. Evans
