This guide presents a systematic overview of important media requirements, setup options, and modes of

use for Datamax-O’Neil H-Class RFID-equipped printers.

CAUTION

• This device complies with FCC Radio Frequency exposure limits for an uncontrolled

environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum

distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. If 20cm distance cannot be

maintained, end users are to be 20cm from printer extremity.

• Any changes or modifications to this RFID module not expressly approved by

Datamax-O’Neil Corporation will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

• Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause

interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference

that may cause undesired operation of this device.



Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital

device, pursuant to part15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a

commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential

area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct

the interference at their own expense.

Step 1: Know the RFID Media

Depending upon the type of encoder in your printer, ensure that your RFID media meets the following

specifications:

Smart Label and Tag Requirements [1]

HF Layout [2] UHF Layout

Forward

Movement

Forward

Movement

Definitions [3]

Designator Description Dimension (inches) Dimension (millimeters)

A Label Width 4.00 101.6

B Label Lengths 2.00, 4.00, & 6.00 50.8, 101.6, & 152.4

C Chip Location Tolerance ± 0.05 ± 1.3

D Label Pitch (minimum) 1.75 44.4

E Chip Inlay Location 1.10 27.9

[1] Reference the Operator’s Manual for additional standard media requirements.

[2] The HF RFID Chip Inlay Location can be left, right, or center justified.

[3] These definitions are referenced while looking down onto the labeling side of the media, and from the leading edge

of the label (or tag) as it moves forward through the printer.



Note: If you have questions regarding selection, contact a Datamax-O’Neil Media Representative at

(407) 523-5650.

Step 2: Know the Printer

For easy setup and configuration, most RFID settings can be modified via the Control Panel. Depending

upon your RFID hardware option, the factory default settings are as follows:

HF RFID Default Settings (RFID MODE = HF):

RFID POSITION = 1.10

HF SETTINGS:

TAG TYPE = ISO 15693

RETRY ATTEMPTS = 3

UHF RFID Default Settings (RFID MODE =

UHF):

RFID POSITION = 1.10

UHF SETTINGS:

TAG TYPE = GEN 2

TAG DATA SIZE = 96-BIT

RETRY ATTEMPTS = 3

To change a factory default setting using the Control Panel, begin by accessing the ADVANCED MENU:

1) Press MENU.

2) Using the UP or the DOWN Buttons, scroll to SYSTEM SETTINGS then press ENTER.

3) Scroll to MENU MODE then press ENTER.

4) Scroll to ADVANCED MENU then press ENTER.

Next, select the factory default setting to be modified (for example, RETRY ATTEMPTS):

1) Press MENU.

2) Scroll to PRINTER OPTIONS then press ENTER.

3) Scroll to RFID then press ENTER.

4) Scroll to the factory default setting to be modified then press ENTER.

5) Enter the desired setting or parameter then press ENTER.

6) Press EXIT; and, at the SAVE CHANGES prompt, press YES.



Notes: (1) If NOT INSTALLED is displayed after selecting RFID, then the device is not equipped or

is not communicating. In this case, proceed to the MODE setting and ensure that the correct

RFID device has been selected.

(2) For User Interface details, see the Operator’s Manual.

(3) To restore factory defaults, select SET DEFAULTS in the RFID options menu.

To complete the setup, encoded data can be exported to a host device (with proper cabling) by enabling

OPTION FEEDBACK. The data is contained in the form <A;B;C;D;E;F>[CR] where:

A - Is the device type: R = RFID; and, S = Linear Scanner.

B - Is the status: C = entire label complete; F = faulted (failed) label; and, U = unknown.

C - Is the number of expected reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters.

D - Is the number of good reads for bar codes or tags, given in two characters.

E - Is the printer’s internal Job and Sub Job Identifier, given in four characters each.

F - Is the data that was read, delimited with semicolons (;) on multiple reads.

Enable OPTION FEEDBACK as follows:

1) Press MENU.

2) Using Scroll to COMMUNICATIONS then press ENTER.

3) Scroll to HOST SETTINGS then press ENTER.

4) Scroll to OPTION FEEDBACK then press ENTER.

5) Enter the desired output format (RFID HEX or RFID ASCII) then press ENTER.

6) Press EXIT; and, at the SAVE CHANGES prompt, press YES.

Step 3: Calibrate the RFID Tag

To establish the critical tag to transducer distance setting and nominal power requirements, the printer

features two different RFID tag calibration methods, Quick and Standard. As shown below, while the

amount of operator interaction differs, both calibration methods accomplish the same result. Before

calibrating ensure that

• RFID media has been loaded;

• The Media Sensor has been calibrated for the RFID media; and,

• The RFID option has been enabled.

See the Operator’s Manual for details. Proceed with the RFID Tag calibration by choosing your preferred

method and executing the steps required:

• Quick RFID Calibration –

With the printer at READY, simultaneously press FEED

and TEST;

2) Using the UP or DOWN Button, scroll to PRINTER

3) Scroll to RFID and press ENTER.

4) Scroll to PERFORM CALIBRATION and press ENTER.

Using either method, you will be prompted to PERFORM CALIBRATION? Answering YES at the prompt

will initiate the process (while NO will terminate it). If yes, the CALIBRATING RFID message will appear

and the printer will begin scanning the media for the RFID tag location. Once located, power calibration

occurs. Wait briefly while both processes finish.

Upon completion the media is retracted to the TOF position; a brief outcome message is displayed; and,

the database is updated with the new parameters.



Note: If using the Standard RFID Calibration method, an additional pop-up window allows detailed

calibration results to be viewed and printed (see below).

Step 4: RFID Programming Modes

The printer features two different operational modes for tag programming:

Direct Mode allows user (Host) control of RFID reading and writing, where each tag is individually

processed with status and data responses.

Label Formatting Mode uses the printer configuration to process all RFID read, write, and

exceptions as determined by a label format, and supports automatic increment and decrement

commands for numeric, alphanumeric, or hexadecimal.



Note: (1) Both programming modes will auto-position to the RFID tag location.

(2) Reference the Class Series 2 Programmer's Manual for detailed programming information.

This is the optimum

power level and tag

position that was

established and set

in the printer during

the RFID Calibration

process.

These are tested tag

positions and outcomes,

where:

RW = Read/Write;

R = Read; and

blank = unreadable.

After establishing the

tag position, these are

the tested power levels

and outcomes, where:

RW = Read/Write;

R = Read; and

blank

unreadable.
