Using RFID

This section describes how to use RFID on PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i
printers. Unless otherwise noted, all information applies to each
printer running Fingerprint or IPL.

Printing on RFID Media

Media containing RFID tags is slightly thicker where the RFID
tag is located. The slight thickness of this part of the label may
affect print quality. For thermal transfer labels, Intermec
recommends using a high-quality ink ribbon, such as TMX 2304
or TMX 1500.
