Setting RFID Options 8-3
Getting Started With RFID
The printer’s RFID menu has two options: Easy Setup and Advanced Setup. The
preferred methods of RFID setup are:
1) Using the Easy Setup Menu to quickly configure the printer.
2) Using the Monarch® RFID Printer Setup Utility to configure the printer’s read/write
powers, positional settings, etc. Find this Web-based utility at

support-pc.html
Note: The advanced setup menu is for advanced users. See “Using the Advanced
Setup Menu” for more information.
Using the Easy Setup Menu
With Easy Setup, enter two parameters for RFID to quickly start encoding RFID inlays.
The two parameters to enter may be printed on the RFID supply roll core’s label: inlay
type and inlay position (in millimeters). Easy Setup is only for use with non-stop
encoding.
The Easy Setup options include:
Select Inlay various N/A
The printer contains a RFID inlay database (d46ESxx.db). If the database is not already
installed in your printer, download it from the RFID Printer Setup Utility:

support-pc.html
Check the RFID Printer Setup Utility for database updates and downloads if your inlay
type is not listed. Only inlays qualified for use in the ADTP1 printer are included in the
database. See “Updating the RFID Inlay Database
” for more information
Once the inlay and inlay position are entered, the printer uses its RFID inlay database to
configure the:
♦ correct inlay read/write power levels ♦ inlay position settings
♦ singulate mode and TID position (if necessary) ♦ speed (decrease as necessary)
Once a batch is sent to the printer, the printer begins encoding and printing.
More information about the RFID values the printer automatically sets in Easy Setup can
be found in Using the Advanced Setup Menu
