RFID > RFID Test
During the RFID test, the printer attempts to read and write to a transponder. No
printer movement occurs with this test.
To test an RFID label:
1. Position the RFID label with its transponder over the RFID antenna array.
2. Touch Start.
The results of the test are shown on the display.
RFID > RFID Calibrate
Initiate tag calibration for RFID media. (Not the same as media and ribbon
calibration.) During the process, the printer moves the media, calibrates the RFID
tag position, and determines the optimal settings for the RFID media being used.
These settings include the programming position, the antenna element to use, and
the read/write power level to use. See the RFID Programming Guide 3 for more
information.
Important • Before running this command, load the printer with RFID
media, calibrate your printer, close the printhead, and feed at least one label
to make sure that tag calibration will begin from the correct position.
Leave all transponders before and after the tag that is being calibrated. This
allows the printer to determine RFID settings which do not encode the
adjacent tag. Allow a portion of media to extend out the front of the printer
to allow for backfeed during the tag calibration procedure.
