Parameter			Action/Explanation
			Calibrate RFID Tag
			RESTORE Selecting this option resets the RFID programming position
	RFID TAG CALIB		to the label length minus 1 mm (0.04 in.).
	RESTORE	RUN	RUN If the media being used does not conform to transponder placement
			requirements for your printer, use the RUN option to have the printer
			determine the optimum programming position for the non-standard labels.
			Important • Do not perform transponder calibration for RFID
			media that meets the transponder placement specifications for your
			printer. RFID tag calibration is necessary only if the transponder is
			not in the ideal location for programming at the printer’s default
			position.
			The printer feeds an RFID label one millimeter at a time while taking
			readings (via the READ TAG command and the WRITE TAG commands)
			to profile the RFID transponder. Based on the results, the printer
			determines the optimum programming position for the media and saves the
			position to nonvolatile memory (the value is saved even if the power is
			turned off). The calibrated value is used as the programming position for
			the ^RS command unless the command specifies a different value.
			Tag calibration takes into account the print mode, backfeed mode, and tear
			off position. The ^HR ZPL command performs the same calibration and
			returns a results table to the host. An auto-calibration occurs after the tag
			calibration. This realigns the media to its proper rest position and updates
			the media tracking values in the printer.
			To restore the programming position to the default:
			1. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
			2. Press MINUS (-)to select RESTORE.
			3. Press SELECT to deselect the parameter.
			To calibrate an RFID tag:
			1. Load the printer with RFID media.
			2. Close the printhead.
			3. Press SELECT to select the parameter.
			4. Press PLUS (+) to select RUN.
			5. Press SELECT to deselect the parameter.
