Antenna System

The T6 RFID has an antenna design that supports a wide variety of tag types. An antenna slide attached to
the media guard can be moved horizontally into seven different detent positions. A pointer on the slide is
used to line up set to the recommended antenna position number (1 thru 7) as shown in Figure 5.

Different Antenna Positions

The antenna slide can be placed in seven positions on the printer. The possible positions moving from
inboard (nearest the electronic bay) to outboard (nearest the window) are as follows:
1: 1st Position (furthest inboard)
2: 2nd Position
3: 3rd Position
4: 4th Position
5: 5th Position
6: 6th Position
7: 7th Position
Once you select a tag type within the RFID menu, the following message will display as shown in the LCD
snapshot below:
NOTE: If the tag you want to encode is not listed in the Tag Type menu, select the recommended Interim
Tag Type listed in the Printronix Tag Specification. Also, if the horizontal placement of the tag within the
installed label differs from the Printronix Tag Specification, move the pointer on the antenna slide so that it
is directly lined up under the center (silicon chip position) of the inlay.
