TitleWhy Do Some Brady Materials Contain Smart Cell Microchips or RFID Tags?
Body
Labels can require different ribbons, print speeds, print head temperatures and calibration sensors depending on the media composition and design of the media roll. Configuring these settings manually can be cumbersome. Smart cells and RFID tags contain information that automatically configures printers for optimal print settings. This information can also be communicated to Brady software to ensure the correct media size is chosen.

What information is contained in the chip or RFID tag?
Can the media remaining counter bypassed or reset?

None of the information on the smart cell can be modified or reset by the end user. Brady printers that read the information off of these tags and chips (referred to as Smart Printers) require chip detection, so removing or damaging the chip will render the media roll unusable. Swapping chips between media rolls will result in incorrect printer settings, including media remaining counter values which will result in unusable remaining media. Contact Brady Technical Support for your region if your printer has difficulty reading a microchip or RFID tag: Global Brady Technical Support Contact Information
