Available RFID tag types are different depending on the RFID modules, as follows:

„B-EX700-RFID-U2-US-R and B-EX700-RFID-U2-EU-R

•EPC UHF Gen2

•ISO-18000-6C

„B-EX700-RFID-H1-QM-R

•TAGSYS C210

•TAGSYS C220

•TAGSYS C240

•TAGSYS C320 (Only when the TAGSYS S003 module is used.)

•I-Code

•Tag-it

•ISO15693

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 (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 paper 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, transmittance 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. For details, refer to Section 2.10 Threshold Setting.

(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.
