5) Cutter 
When an RFID label or tag is used in cut issue mode, care must be taken not to cut an antenna of the 
RFID tag or an IC chip in order not to damage the cutter. 
 
6) Static Electricity 
When printing is performed in a place where humidity is low or under some specific conditions, writing 
data on an RFID tag may fail due to static electricity generated by a label or a ribbon. 
 
7) Printing on Bump (Chip/Antenna) Area 
Embedding an RFID tag in labels creates bumps in a chip/antenna area in the labels, causing 
incomplete printing. 
Uneven printing or incomplete printing can occur easily, especially within 5 mm back and forth of the 
RFID tag, and right and left sides of the RFID-tag embedded area, as shown in the figure below. 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8) Ambient Temperature 
Low temperature deteriorates wireless performance, under which conditions writing data on an RFID 
tag may fail. 
 
9) Head-up Back feed 
When an RFID label is used, a back feed may be required before an issue depending on the location 
of an RFID tag in the label. 
A printer without the ribbon saving module may not be able to perform a back feed properly because 
the print head may be caught by an edge of the label.  For this reason, the ribbon saving module must 
be installed in the printer when media, which requires a back feed before an issue, is used.
