Encoder Module Height Adjustment

The Encoder Module height can be adjusted by loosening the

adjustment knob on the back of the post and sliding the module up

or down.

The height of the Encoder Module should be such that the Encoder

Module sits just beneath the label exit area of the printer

(approximately 1/8 inch below the horizontal exit plane of the

labels). This ensures that labels will flow easily out of the printer and

over the Encoder Module.

Encoder Module Horizontal Adjustment

The encoder module can be adjusted horizontally by positioning the

mounting base arm either more or less under the printer. The exact

horizontal or vertical adjustment will depend on the printer and

labels.

The XE2000 Encoder Module was intentionally designed to have a

long but narrow "RF Active Area" for encoding RFID Smart Labels.

RF Active Areas

Antennas in both the Brady WavePoint™ XE2000 Encoder Module

and RFID Smart Labels are used to send and receive RF energy

and data. The areas where these antennas receive most of the

energy are referred to as RF Active Areas in this manual. Refer to

Figure 5-5 RFID Smart Label RF Active .

The length of the Encoder Module's RF Active Area allows for a

variety of label widths, while the narrowness allows you to encode

either long or short labels without encoding adjacent labels. The

current offering of Brady RFID Smart Label sizes can be found on

the CD-ROM provided, or by visiting the Brady RFID website at
