2.6 SPECIFICATION OF RFID TAG (for B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R)

2.6.1 General Description

The RFID supplies are RFID tag (wireless IC tag) inlays designed to be converted into tag and label
applications. Printers, which are equipped with an RFID kit, can print data on the surface of RFID supplies
as well as write data on the embedded RFID tags.
The B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R (Serial Number: 2808Yxxxxxx and earlier) is destined for U.S.A./Canada and
operates in the UHF band (902.75-927.5 MHz).
The B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R (Serial Number: 2809Axxxxxx or later) is destined for U.S.A./Canada,
Australia, South Korea, Taiwan and operates in the following UHF band.
U.S.A./Canada: 902.75 to 927.5 MHz
Australia: 918.25 to 925.75 MHz
South Korea: 910.4 to 913.6 MHz
Taiwan: 922.25 to 927.25 MHz

2.6.2 Available RFID Tag

• EPC Generation 2, ISO-18000-6C

2.6.3 Location of RFID Tag

The location of an RFID tag in 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 in labels because the best location
depends on the type of RFID tag and RFID tag antenna.
The RFID Analyze Tool (7FM001113) can evaluate the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. For
the usage of this tool, refer to the 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 RFID Analyze Tool to evaluate 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
a data write using the RFID Tag Position Adjustment Command ([ESC]@003).
Note that the best location described in this specification may not be applicable depending on the type
or paper or glue even if the same RFID tags are used. This guideline applies to RFID labels for
thermal transfer issue. When using the media made of PET or thermal paper, the best location needs
to be found again.
