RFID Calibrate Use this command to initiate tag calibration for RFID media. (Not the same as manual
calibration for media.) During the process, the printer moves the media, calibrates the
RFID tag position, and determines the optimal settings for the RFID media being used.
Important • Before you use this command, load the printer with RFID media, ensure
that the printer is calibrated for the media, and close the printhead. Feed one label.
See Manual Calibration - Media onpage 75 to calibrate the media (and RFID
Calibration on page 76 for a menu accessible alternative method to this command).
Depending on the printer, these settings include the programming position, the antenna
element to use, the read/write power level to use, and it read's the tag's TID to determine
the chip type.
To restore the printer’s default programming position at any time, use the "restore"
option in the rfid.tag.calibrate SGD command.
Leave all transponders before and after the tag that is being calibrated. This allows the
printer to determine RFID settings which do not encode the adjacent tag. Allow a
portion of media to extend out the front of the printer to allow for backfeed during the
tag calibration procedure.
