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-SX RFID Analyze Tool (7FM001113) can evaluate the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag.
For the usage of this tool, refer to the B-SX RFID Analyze Tool Operation Specification (TAA-2195).
As a guideline, the best location for some common RFID tags is given below.
It is recommended to use the B-SX RFID Analyze Tool to check the accuracy of writing data on an
RFID tag to be used, then determine a specific location of the RFID tag.
If the RFID tag cannot be placed on the best location specified, perform a forward/reverse feed before
an issue using the RFID tag position adjustment command ([ESC]@[003)
