Chapter 1 - Using the Printer Printing 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 a high-quality ink ribbon, such as TMX 2304 or TMX 1500. To achieve the best possible print quality, follow these guidelines: • After you load RFID media, restart the printer or run a TESTFEED to let the printer identify the RFID media type. • If necessary, modify the TAGADJUST variable to make sure that the RFID labels are properly aligned with the antenna. • If necessary, avoid printing on the thickest part of the label. • For printers running Fingerprint: • If you are using thermal transfer labels, start with the ribbon constant set to 80 and the ribbon factor set to 25. You may need to adjust these values depending on the type of media you choose. • To write to Gen 2 RFID tags using the TAGFIELD command, set the start and length parameters to even numbers. • For printers running IPL: • Start with the sensitivity set to 565. You may need to adjust this value depending on the type of media you choose. • To write to Gen 2 RFID tags, set the start and length parameters of the RFID tag field setup command (a) to even numbers. For help configuring RFID parameters, see the Intermec Fingerprint Command Reference Manual or the IPL Command Reference Manual. 54 PX4i and PX6i High Performance Printer User's Manual
