On-Pitch Rfid Labels - Printronix T6000 Reference Manual

On-Pitch RFID Labels

Printronix defines On-Pitch labels as those with RFID inlays that have a pitch from 0.5 to 0.625 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 7 shows a section from a roll of On-Pitch labels and the variety of reference points that can be
used to determine the pitch (in this case 0.625-inch pitch).
