R4Mplus User Guide

Overview

The R4Mplus “smart” label printer-encoder serves as a dynamic tool for both printing and 
encoding RFID labels, tickets, and tags. The printer encodes information on ultra-thin UHF 
RFID transponders embedded in “smart” labels. It then immediately verifies proper encoding 
and prints bar codes, graphics, and/or text on the label’s surface. For more information about 
RFID media, see 

Function of an encoded “smart” label depends on factors such as where the label is placed on 
an item as well as on the contents of the item (such as metals or liquids). Contact the supplier 
of your RFID reader for assistance with these types of issues.

Communication between the “smart” label and the printer is established when the transponder 
lines up with the printer’s antenna. The optimal transponder position varies with the 
transponder size, its configuration, and the type of RFID IC chip used.

Print quality may be affected by printing directly over the transponder. In particular, there is an 
area on each label immediately around the location of the IC chip where the printer may print 
with low quality. Design your printed label around the location of the chip in the type of 
approved “smart” label that you select. For the list of approved transponders and related 
placement specifications, go to 

Important • It is important to use transponders that have been specifically approved 
for use in the R4Mplus printer. Failure to do so may result in the inability to read or 
write to the embedded RFID tags. As new transponders become commercially 
available, Zebra will evaluate them for compatibility with this printer. For the list of 
approved transponders, go to
