Designing RFID media
–
If applicable, the RFID tag is placed at the back of the printable side of the RFID media.
–
We recommend designing the form so that the RFID tag is placed toward the back of the tray when the
media is loaded.
–
We recommend preprinting the loading instructions in the margins of the media to help operators load
the media properly.
RFID media compatibility
The RFID media is a base specialty media with an RFID tag attached to it.
Lexmark RFID printers support a wide range of media types and sizes, including different types of RFID tags.
We recommend working with your vendor in designing the RFID media.
RFID tag compatibility
Note: Near‑field‑only RFID tags are not supported.
Use the RFID option to program far‑field or a combination of far‑field and near‑field tags that support EPC Gen2
(ISO 18000‑6C) standard. The option can program tags from 16 to 496 bits of EPC memory in 16‑bit increments.
The following are examples of compatible tags:
•
Alien Technology ALN‑9630 Squiglette
•
Avery Dennison AD‑227
•
SMARTRAC DogBone
•
SMARTRAC Frog
•
eAgile GullWing
•
RFID tags based on Impinj Monza 4/5/6, Alien Higgs, or other chipsets compatible with the EPC Gen2
standard
We recommend selecting a tag that meets the requirements of the RFID usage, and then testing it for
compatibility with the printer.
