RFID Power
Increases the strength of the RF field emitted by the 
printer’s antenna to read and program the RFID tags. 
RFID Reader
An optional external device that reads the RFID tags 
after they are programmed. 
RFID Tags
Supplies that contain an embedded programmable chip 
and antenna. 
Transponder The combination of the embedded programmable chip
with an antenna on some type of media (film, paper, 
etc.). Different types of transponders are available 
(UCODE, Class 1, etc.).

♦ Printing over the RFID tag (or inlay) causes printing irregularity. 
♦ You may want to consider purchasing an RFID Reader to verify the 
RFID tags after printing them.
♦ Do not modify the Supply Position when using RFID supplies
greater than a two-inch feed length. Doing so may move the RFID 
tag out of the RF Field’s readable and programmable range. If 
necessary, you can modify the Print Position; however, make sure you 
do not move the tag out of the readable and programmable range. 
♦ We recommend not using batch separators, which prints a pinstripe
pattern on a label; or skip index mode, which prints ONE format over 
multiple labels, since these features unnecessarily waste a label. A 
batch separator label is different from an overstrike label.

This section details the regulatory compliance information specific to the 
RFID components in your printer. It may not apply to other RF devices in 
the printer. Refer to the documentation provided with those other RF 
devices for regulatory information. 
Paxar RF products are designed to be compliant with the rules and 
regulations in the locations into which they are sold and will be labeled as 
required. The majority of Paxar RF devices are type approved and do not 
require the user to obtain a license or authorization before using the
