Calculate RFID Tag Position

PM23c, PM43, and PM43c Mid-Range Printer User Manual
You can perform a manual calculation to come up with an estimate of
the RFID Tag Position. Because this value is an estimate, you may need
to slightly adjust the calculated value to achieve the best results.
Note: You do not need to calculate the Tag Position value for the
PM23c printer. By default, the Tag Position is set to -13.5 mm and the
yAntDist is 135 mm (pivoted antenna) or 136 mm (flat antenna).
1 Make sure Start Adjust and Stop Adjust are set to 0.
2 Measure the yChip value, which is the distance between the RFID
chip and the media edge aligned with the tear bar.
3 Note the yAntDist for the PM43/PM43c: 280 dots, 35 mm, 1.378
in.
4 Use this formula to calculate the estimated Tag Position:
TagPosition=yChip - yAntDist
