The RFID kit is designed so that the second label is positioned just above the antenna while the first label is at the print start position, when using the following

After printing a label, a reverse feed for a distance equivalent to one label pitch is required to write data onto its tag. During this reverse feed, the bottom edge of the printed label may be stuck on the print head edge, causing a feed jam. This is because the labels become thicker due to embedded tags. When several labels are issued in a batch, set the offset printing parameter to 1 (Offset printing is performed without a reverse feed of the first label.) in order to make the printer issue labels without performing a reverse feed. In this case, however, the printer does not print or write data on the first label, so it is wasteful. This mode is not suitable for applications where a small number of labels are issued on an

2.5.5 Cautions for using RFID Tags
1)
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 the
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.
