Short-Pitch Rfid Labels - Printronix T6000 Reference Manual

Short-Pitch RFID Labels

Printronix defines Short-Pitch labels as those with RFID inlays that have a pitch from 1.0 to 2.0 inches. The
RFID inlay is short in length, and is constructed into an item level label that permits inlay encoding and
provides the required but limited space to print text, graphics, barcodes or logos.
NOTE: Figure 6 shows a section from a roll of Short-Pitch labels and the variety of reference points that can
be used to determine the pitch (in this case one-inch pitch).
