First Claim
1. A thermal tabletop and industrial printer device for printing on and electronically encoding and verifying radio frequency identification (RFID) labels, tags, or stickers attached to a continuous web, comprising:
- a printer housing with a printer cover, having a plurality of thumb screws creating an easily removable cover;
a print head capable of printing on the continuous web, wherein the print head is positioned within the printer housing; and
a first RFID reader/writer module that electronically encodes the RFID tags with data while the continuous web is moving;
a second RFID reader/writer module that verifies the data encoded to the RFID tags; and
wherein the printer device can read and encode and print on an RFID tag without damaging the RFID tag.

Abstract
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. Further, the printer also comprises a quick release cover with thumbscrews that allow for easy removal.
