Getting Started with RFID

How you set up your printer for RFID applications is determined in part by the transponder 
that you select. This section guides you through that selection and the settings that you may 
need to change on your printer to make RFID reading and encoding possible. When you have 
completed this section, you will be ready to program your RFID label formats.

Select a Transponder Type  Before you purchase RFID labels, determine what type of 
RFID transponder to use (

). Different transponder types can have different attributes. 

Some transponders can only be read while others can be read and written to repeatedly. 
Transponders also have different amounts of available memory, which corresponds to the 
amount of data that can be encoded in it. Select the combination that best suits your needs.

Set Tag Type  After you have selected a transponder type and purchased labels, set the 
transponder (tag) type on the printer. Do this through the front panel menu (see 

) or through the 

^RS

Set Power Settings  Each transponder has specific power setting requirements, which 
define how much power the printer’s antenna will emit to “energize” the transponder in its 
program field. The tag type that you are using must match the RFID power settings of the 
printer. If necessary, you can change the power settings through the front panel (see 

^RW

).

Perform RFID Transponder Calibration  If you are using RFID labels that were 
designed to meet the specifications of this printer, you do not need to perform RFID 
transponder calibration. The printer will automatically place the labels in the optimal 
programming position.

However, if you are using RFID labels that were not designed to meet the specifications of this 
printer, you may need to perform an RFID transponder calibration to determine the optimal 
programming position for your media. If necessary, you can perform this calibration through 
the front panel (see 

) or through the 

^HR
