RFID Format Design Tips
This section provides some tips about designing formats on large-gap RFID supplies.
Printing over the RFID inlay may cause printing irregularity.
1. Determine the label length. Measure the supply according to the supply type:
♦ Die cut
supplies:
♦ Measure from the leading edge of one label to the
leading edge of the next label accounting for the
die cut gap in the format header.
♦ Black mark
supplies:
♦ Measure from the top of one black mark to the top
of the next black mark.
♦ Aperture
supplies:
♦ Measure from the top of one aperture hole to the
top of the next aperture hole.
Note: The leading edge is the edge of the label that exits the printer first; regardless of how the
format is designed on the label.
Use the Monarch® RFID Printer Setup Utility to configure the printer (read and write
power, position settings, etc.) for the RFID supplies. Find this Web-based utility at

2. Enter the label length for parameter f6. length in the format header. See “
Defining the
Format Header” for more information.
3. Determine the label width. Measure the width of the printable area of the supply. Do not
include the liner (backing paper) in this dimension.
4. Enter the label width for parameter f7. width in the format header. See “
Defining the Format
Header” for more information.
