•AGC Threshold Setting
The
An AGC threshold value has been set to 11 (0Bh) as factory default, but it may be necessary to change this value according to the tag type to be used.
When the factory default threshold value is not proper for the tag type used, follow the procedure below to configure the following settings.
As the changes are stored in the internal memory, they are retained after the printer power is turned off and on again. When the tag type is changed or data write cannot be operated properly, perform the setting again.
Step 1. Load an RFID tag embedded media in the printer.
Step 2. Follow the procedure below to measure the radio intensity of the tags.
1)Place the media so that an RFID tag (IC chip) is positioned above the Antenna, and close the Top
Cover.

For detail of the command, refer to the External Equipment Interface Specification (Printer Command Manual).
2） Start the printer in the system mode and perform a read test to measure the AGC value.
