2.4.3 Inlay position / Tag antenna coupling
Smart labels with RFID functionality are treated by the printer in a two phase process. At first RFID functionality is
executed and afterwards the regular print processing is made. To communicate with an RFID transponder it has to
be in the range (RF field) of the built in reader antenna and it must be the only tag in range. For this purpose the
Easy Plug command #IM has been extended with a parameter called
RFID antenna offset. It defines the distance
between label start and optimal coupling point position. In other words, it determines how much the label needs to
be back feed to bring the transponder in the right position near the printer’s antenna.
