This guide presents a systematic overview of important media requirements, setup options, and modes of use for Datamax-O’Neil M-Class RFID-equipped printers. • This device complies with FCC Radio Frequency exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum CAUTION distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. If 20cm distance cannot be maintained, end users are to be 20cm from printer extremity.
Start with the Right Media Use RFID media that meets the specifications required by the encoder type: Smart Label and Tag Requirements [1] HF Media Layout [2] Forward Movement UHF Media Layout C Forward Movement C D D B B E E A A Definitions [3] Designator Dimension Description Inches Millimeters A Label Width 4.00 101.6 B Label Lengths 2.00 50.8 C Chip Location Tolerance ± 0.05 ± 1.3 D Label Pitch (minimum) 1.75 44.4 E Chip Inlay Location 1.1 27.
Set the Printer RFID default settings (listed below by encoder [MODE] type) can be modified via the Control Panel: HF RFID Default Settings (MODE = HF): RFID POSITION = 1.1 TAG TYPE = ISO 15693 RETRY ATTEMPTS = 3 UHF RFID Default Settings (MODE = UHF): RFID POSITION = 1.1 TAG TYPE = GEN 2 TAG DATA SIZE = 96-BIT RETRY ATTEMPTS = 3 Change an RFID default by selecting, modifying, and saving the desired setting(s): Step 1 Instruction Display Press MENU.
Encoded RFID data can also be exported to a host device by enabling OPTION FEEDBACK. This data is contained in the format [CR] where: A - Is the device type: R = RFID; and, S = Linear Scanner. B - Is the resulting status: C = label complete; F = faulted (failed) label; and, U = unknown. C - Is the number of expected reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters. D - Is the number of good reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters.
Calibrate the Media RFID Calibration automatically establishes the critical tag to transducer distance and power setting for the media. Before calibrating, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met: • RFID media is installed; • The Media Sensor is adjusted and calibrated for the installed media; and, • The RFID Option is enabled. Note: Reference the Operator’s Manual for details.. Calibrate the media as follows: 1) With the printer at READY simultaneously press FEED and TEST.
