2 From the Main Menu, select Wizard > Calibration > RFID
Calibration.
3 To enable the RFID module, select Enable.
4 Load the RFID media.
5 Select OK.
When the calibration is complete, the printer displays the RFID
Tag Position and Output Power (UHF inlays, only).
Calculate RFID Tag Position
You can perform a manual calculation to come up with an estimate of
the RFID Tag Position. Because this value is an estimate, you may need
to slightly adjust the calculated value to achieve the best results.
1 Make sure Start Adjust and Stop Adjust are set to 0.
2 Measure the yChip value, which is the distance between the RFID
chip and the media edge aligned with the tear bar.
Note: You do not need to calculate the Tag Position value for the
PM23c printer. By default, the Tag Position is set to -13.5 mm and the
yAntDist is 135 mm (pivoted antenna) or 136 mm (flat antenna).
