2.4 Specification of RFID Tag
2.4.5 Cautions for using RFID Tags
(1) Damage to Thermal Head by RFID Chip
The thermal head may be damaged when it passes over an RFID tag chip.
Our endurance test using TOPPAN's Class 1 Generation 2 labels proved that issuing 1,200,000 labels
did not damage the thermal head. However, the thermal head may be damaged depending on RFID
tag types or embedded conditions of tags.
(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 Online mode. For details, refer to the B-SA4T
Key Operation Specifications ( EAA-2166 ).
(5) Cutter
When an RFID label or tag is used in cut issue mode, care must be taken not to cut an antenna of the
RFID tag or an IC chip in order not to damage the cutter.
(6) Static Electricity
When printing is performed in a place where humidity is low or under some specific conditions, writing
data on an RFID tag may fail due to static electricity generated by a label or a ribbon.
