Positioning the XE2000 for Use with RFID Smart Labels

There is no size standard for RFID Smart Labels, so the optimal

placement of various labels cannot be specified exactly. It is

suggested, however, that the most advantageous placement for an

effective read/write of an RFID Smart Label is one where a majority

of the label's RF Active Area rests over the XE2000's RF Active

Area after the label exits the thermal transfer printer, as shown in

the following illustration:

1. RFID Smart Label RF Active Area

2. XE2000 RF Inactive Area

3. XE2000 RF Active Area (Inside the antenna coil)

Use the XE2000 Utilities Program to familiarize yourself with proper

label positioning. Refer to Using the XE2000 Utilities Program for

Positioning Options on page 31 of this document.
