How to Print on RFID Media
If you have an LCD printer with the optional RFID module installed,
you can print on RFID media. Media containing RFID tags is slightly
thicker where the RFID tag is located. The slight thickness of this part
of the label may affect print quality. For thermal transfer labels,
Intermec recommends using high-quality ink ribbon.
To achieve the best possible print quality, follow these guidelines:
• Run the RFID calibration wizard to determine the best Tag
Position and Output Power for RFID media.
• If necessary, modify the Tag Position (TAGADJUST variable) to
make sure the RFID labels are properly aligned with the antenna.
• Avoid printing on the thickest part of the label when possible.
For help configuring RFID parameters, see the
Intermec Fingerprint
Command Reference Manual
or the IPL Command Reference
Manual.
About RFID Tag Position
Tag Position, also referred to as TAGADJUST, specifies the distance (in
dots/mm/in) to move the label to align the tag with the RFID antenna.
Positive values move the label forward, and negative values move the
label back.
Use one of these methods to calculate Tag Position:
• Run the RFID wizard.
• Manually calculate the Tag Position.
