Chapter 2 - Set Up the Printer 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. Run the RFID Calibration Wizard Run the RFID calibration wizard to determine the best Tag Position and Output Power (UHF inlays, only) for RFID media. Note: After you determine the correct RFID media settings, you can save these settings to a printer profile and load the profile when you need to print on the specific RFID media. 1 Make sure the media type and media length are properly configured.
