Abstract

L’invention concerne une imprimante dans laquelle on évite l’impression en double et l’impression d’un label défectueux dans la mesure où l’on imprime et sort le dernier label notifiant ainsi un label défectueux. Une feuille en accordéon (3) est acheminée par un plateau (6) et après écriture de données sur une étiquette RFID disposée sur un label constituant la feuille en accordéon (3) par une section de lecture/écriture RFID (10), des données d’impression prédéterminées sont imprimées par une tête thermique (5) et le label est découpé par un couteau (12) et délivré. Si l’étiquette RFID n’est pas intégrée au label ou bien s’il est impossible d’écrire des données parce que l’étiquette RFID est défectueuse, le label est imprimé avec un message prédéterminé et délivré. L’étiquette RFID est détectée même en fin de papier, des données sont écrites sur l’étiquette RFID, si l’impression est possible, puis l’impression est réalisée et le label est délivré.
