Label

The purpose of this guideline is to define the optimal transponder placement within the media such that the

media can completely printed without use of the programmable encode position command.

Transponder Orientation

• Inlay orientation is critical to ensure proper encoding.

• Transponder picture shown in guideline is how it must be inserted in into the media.

• Picture shows the transponder orientation as seen through the facestock and media feed direction down.

Dimension Definition

Printer Mainframe/

Firewall (or Liner

Edge) to Transponder

Antenna Center

Coupling with the transponder changes across the width of the printer

and can cause x and y dimensions to vary. Please note that

dimension is always to the antenna center, not the chip or transponder

carrier. Dimension generally given with a +/- 3mm tolerance.

Transponder Antenna Placement Dimensions

• There are three dimensions that are critical in determining transponder placement as shown in the

schematic to the right and as explained below

Label Construction

• Zebra printer encoders are generally ran with a standard 1/8" gap between labels without a black mark

• If transponder placement guidelines to not allow for transponder to properly fit within the wanted label size,

then a black mark may need to be introduced to create a "virtual" label to ensure proper encoding. This

will usually also shift the label home position and therefore print formats may have to also be adjusted.

• The "Label Start" is defined by one of three different methods: 1) The physical leading edge of a label, 2)

The leading edge of a black mark, or 3) The leading edge of a notch (Black mark and notch dimension

requirements are outlined printer specifications).

Label Start to

Transponder Antenna

Leading Edge

This dimension ensures coupling with the transponder in the current

label to be printed without use of programmable encode position

command. Please note that dimension is always to the antenna

leading edge, not the chip or transponder carrier. Dimension generally

given with a +/- 3mm tolerance.

Leading Edge Pitch

This dimension ensures coupling with only the transponder in the

current label. Please note that dimension is always to the antenna

leading edge, not the chip or transponder carrier. Dimension

generally given as a  3 mm minimum distance.

Printer/ Encoder and Firmware

• Note that inlay placement within media may differ for each printer/ encoder model. The guidelines

contained within this document are relevant only for the listed printer/ encoder(s).

• Guidelines are established using the latest firmware available for the printer/ encoder. Please ensure

that the latest firmware is being utilized to get the optimum encoding performance. Firmware downloads

may be found at www.zebra.com.
