2.4 SPECIFICATION OF RFID TAG (for B-EX700-RFID-H1-QM-R)
2.4.3 Location of RFID Tag
The location of an RFID tag on 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 on labels because the best location
depends on the type of RFID tag and RFID tag antenna.
The B-EX RFID Analyze Tool can evaluate the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. For the
usage of this tool, refer to the B-EX RFID Analyze Tool Operation Specification.
2.4.4 Cautions for using RFID Tags
(1) Lift-up of Print Head
An RFID tag chip or the print head may be damaged when the print head passes over the chip.
This can be prevented by using the ribbon saving module (standard feature for the B-EX6T and
optional for the B-EX4T). The print head is lifted by the ribbon saving module when it passes over the
chip to prevent it from touching the chip.
The print head is lifted by approximately 1 mm from the platen.
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-EX
Key Operation Specifications.
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.
7) Printing on Bump (Chip/Antenna) Area
Embedding an RFID tag in labels creates bumps in a chip/antenna area in the labels, causing
incomplete printing.
Uneven printing or incomplete printing can occur easily, especially within 5 mm back and forth of the
RFID tag, and right and left sides of the RFID-tag embedded area, as shown in the figure below.
