RFID TAG CALIB
RESTORE RUN
Calibrate RFID Tag
This option allows you to have the printer determine the optimum programming
position for a given label or to bypass this function and use a default position if the
media conforms to Zebra’s placement requirements. An auto-calibration occurs
after this tag calibration to realign the media to its proper rest position and to update
the media tracking values in the printer.
1. Place an RFID label over the reader (no movement occurs with the test).
2. Press the left oval to select RESTORE.
OR
Press the right oval to select
RUN.
• RESTORE—Selecting this option resets the programming position to the label
length minus 1 mm (0.04 in.).
• RUN—This option performs an RFID transponder calibration for a specific
RFID label. The printer feeds the 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 label. The calibrated value is used as the
programming position for the
^RS command, can be overwritten by the ^RS
command, and is saved to nonvolatile memory (the value is saved even if the
power is turned off).
This 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.
