Figure 3: processing steps of RFID encoding and label printing:
(1) resting position before start of RFID processing / printing
(2) back-feeding of label to the RFID encoding position (move inlay antenna to best-match position with printer
antenna)
(3) forward-feeding to bring start of label to dot line again (after RFID encoding)
(4) label printing in progress
Label positioning is the first action that takes place when processing a RFID label. Afterwards all RFID commands
are executed. When this is finished the label is repositioned to the beginning and all other printing actions are
executed.
