Calibrate RFID Tag
Important • Do not perform transponder calibration for RFID
media that meets the transponder placement specifications for your
printer. Doing so will slow the printer’s throughput unnecessarily.
RFID tag calibration is necessary only if the transponder is not in
the ideal location for programming at the printer’s default position.
• RESTORE—Selecting this option resets the RFID programming
position to the label length minus 1 mm (0.04 in.).
Note • When you select RESTORE, no label movement or
changes to the control panel occur.
• RUN—If the media being used does not conform to transponder
placement requirements for your printer, use the
RUN option to have the
printer determine the optimum programming position for the
non-standard labels. The printer feeds an RFID label one dot-row at a
time while taking readings (via the READ TAG command and the
WRITE TAG commands) to profile the RFID transponder. Based on the
results, the printer determines the optimum programming position for the
media and saves the position to nonvolatile memory (the value is saved
even if the power is turned off). The calibrated value is used as the
programming position for the
^RS command unless the command
specifies a different value.
Tag calibration takes into account the print mode, backfeed mode, and
tear off position. The
^HR ZPL command performs the same
calibration and returns a results table to the host. An auto-calibration
occurs after the tag calibration to realign the media to its proper rest
position and to update the media tracking values in the printer.
To restore the programming position to the default:
1. Press the left oval to select RESTORE.
To calibrate an RFID tag:
1. Load the printer with RFID media.
2. Close the printhead.
3. Press the right oval to select
RUN.
