Haven't you ever seen a calculator with a roll of paper attached to it. As you are entering numbers and such into the calculator, it prints everything out on the roll of paper.

was being a smart ass. yes, I have seen that kind. however, if the systems are that broken in a stuffer sack the clerk is far more likely to lock the place down and hide with a teddy bear and wimper in the managers office.

Evil, I wasn't asking why there's an advantage for rating 1 RFID over nothing at all. I was asking if there's an advantage of rating 1 RFID over rating 0 RFID. I would have assumed that rating 0 would have been significantly cheaper, maybe a dozen for a cent? I don't know. The company will go with whatever is cheaper, be it rating 1 with one sensor, or rating 0 with a number of sensors. I was assuming the latter would be cheaper.

As I've said though, I think rating 0 is whats used currently, and I would guess, given how ratings work, that they (and their corresponding equipment) are cheaper than rating 1. If you're not interested in advertising, just in keeping stock of inventory, rating 0 is fully effective.
