2.8 SPECIFICATION OF RFID TAG (for B-EX700-RFID-U2-CN-R)

2.8.1 General Description
The RFID supplies are RFID tag (wireless IC tag) inlays designed to be converted into tag and label
applications. Printers, which are equipped with an RFID kit, can print data on the surface of RFID
supplies as well as write data on the embedded RFID tags.
The B-EX700-RFID-U2-CN-R is destined for China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and operates in
the UHF band (920.625-924.375 MHz).
2.8.2 Available RFID Tag
EPC UHF Gen2, ISO-18000-6C
2.8.3 Location of RFID Tag
The location of an RFID tag in a label influences on the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. It is
impossible to define the one best location for every RFID tag in labels because the best location
depends on the type of RFID tag and RFID tag antenna.
The RFID Analyze Tool can evaluate the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. For the usage of
this tool, refer to the RFID Analyze Tool Operation Specification.
2.8.4 Short-pitch Tag
A short-pitch tag kit is supplied with the B-EX700-RFID-U2-CN-R to enable the RFID kit to encode
short-pitch tags properly.
However, an adjustment will be necessary for each type of short-pitch tags individually. When short-
pitch tags are used, consult TOSHIBA TEC Japan.
2.8.5 Cautions for using RFID Tags
1) Lift-up of Print Head
An RFID tag chip or the thermal head may be damaged when the thermal head passes over the
chip. This can be prevented by using the ribbon saving module (standard feature for B-EXT1-
TS15-R and optional for B-EXT1-GS12-QM-R and B-EXT1-GS12-CN-R) by which the thermal
head is lifted up preventing it from touching the chip when it passes over the chip.
When the thermal head is lifted up, the distance from the platen roller to the head is approximately
1 mm.
2) Storage of RFID Supplies
Do not store RFID tags close to printers, or their communication performance may not be as
specified when they are used.
3) Roll-type RFID Supplies
When RFID supplies are to be rolled, roll hardness must be concerned.
Although it depends on the type of glue, tag, and backing paper, RFID-tag embedded labels tend
to stay rolled. Especially, when they are wound outside, a media jam error may occur. Unless
otherwise specified, it is recommended that the RFID-tag embedded labels be wound inside.
4) Sensor
When the transmissive sensor or reflective sensor is enabled, transmissivity or reflectivity of a
label or tag may vary at an RFID-tag embedded area depending on the pattern of an antenna or
other factors. In such cases, a manual threshold setting is required in the printer system mode.
For details, refer to the B-EX4T/6T Key Operation Specifications.
