Step 3: Calibrate the RFID Tag
To establish the critical tag to transducer distance setting and nominal power requirements, the printer
features two different RFID tag calibration methods: Quick and Standard. As shown below, while the
amount of operator interaction differs, both calibration methods accomplish the same result. Before
calibrating for the RFID tag, ensure the following:
1) That RFID media has been loaded;
2) That the printer's media sensor has been calibrated for the RFID media; and,
3) That the RFID Option has been enabled in the PRINTER OPTIONS menu. (Consult the Operator's
Manual for details on these procedures and settings.)
To calibrate the RFID Tags, choose your method then execute the steps accordingly, as explained below:
 To perform the Quick RFID Tag Calibration –
With the printer at READY, simultaneously press both the FEED Key and the TEST Key.
 To perform the Standard RFID Tag Calibration –
1) Press the MENU Key then scroll to PRINTER OPTIONS and press the ENTER Key.
2) Scroll to RFID then press the ENTER Key.
3) Scroll to PERFORM CALIBRATION then press the ENTER Key.
Using either method, you will be prompted to PERFORM CALIBRATION? Selecting YES at the prompt
will start the two-part calibration process (while selecting NO will exit this menu).
If YES was selected, CALIBRATING RFID will be displayed as the media advances to begin tag location
scanning. Once this location is established, power calibration begins. (Wait briefly while these processes
finish.)
Upon completion, the printer will retract the media to the TOF position, update its database information,
and display the RFID position and power results (along with a brief SUCCESS or FAILURE message).
