AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

RFID printers experience jamming issues when RFID tags are ejected, leading to failure in recording encoded information and downtime, which current solutions require manual intervention to resolve.

Method used

A support system for RFID printers comprising a tray with a support overhang and a guide ramp, formed from composite materials like recycled carbon fibers, that automatically supports ejected RFID components, guiding them away from the media outlet to prevent jamming.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively reduces the likelihood of jamming and ensures the integrity of encoded information recording by securely supporting RFID components without human intervention, using recycled materials to minimize waste and electrostatic interference.

Abstract

This provides a system and method for supporting components ejected from an RFID printer. [Solution] The support system 100 is configured to be connected to a radio frequency identification device (RFID) printer 102. The support system includes a tray 120, the tray having a support extension 122 configured to abut the RFID printer below the media outlet 104 of the RFID printer. The support extension is configured to support a portion of the RFID components discharged from the media outlet by the RFID printer. The tray further has a guide inclined portion 124 connected to the support extension at a given angle. The guide inclined portion is configured to slidably support the RFID component after it has rotated away from the support extension.
