RFID Inlay Pitch

This printer specifically encodes inlays for item level applications and supports RFID labels that Printronix
defines as Short-Pitch and On-Pitch.
RFID Inlay Pitch
Pitch is defined as the distance from one point on an inlay to the same point on the next inlay. The reference
point can be any point on the inlay: leading (or trailing) edge of the antenna (often described as the foil),
leading (or trailing) edge of the antenna substrate, or the distance between ICs. Use the RFID Inlay
Reference Figure 6 for a clearer understanding of the various points that can be used to determine pitch. The
T6 RFID printer supports Short-Pitch and On-Pitch RFID Inlays.
Example: In the RFID menu under Tag Type, if you want to select an Alien 9730 tag you will have a choice
of selecting:
Aln9730 ShortPitch or
Aln9730 OnPitch
The correct choice will be based on the difference in pitch described and illustrated in the Short-Pitch and
On-Pitch sections below.
