6.7.2 RFID Calibration Operation Example
Note: Be sure to complete the following before performing an RFID calibration.
1) Select a usable antenna position in the system mode. (Refer to Section 6.7.1 Outline of the RFID
2) Place the RFID media at the print start position in advance by performing an automatic calibration.
[Online mode]
1. Normal state
↓ Press the [PAUSE] key.
[Online mode]
2. Pause state
↓ Hold down the [ENTER] key for 3 seconds.

5a. Result: Detected.
Pressing the [ENTER] key returns the screen to 1. Normal
state.
The value for
“POSITION” on the display is set for “CALIB.
POSITION
”, the value of “AGC” is set for “CALIB. AGC”,
and
”CALIB. MODE” is turned ON.
Pressing the [CANCEL] key returns the screen to 1. Normal
state.
The values for
“POSITION” and “AGC” on the display are
not saved.

5b.
Result: Not found.
Pressing the [CANCEL] key returns the screen to 1. Normal
state.
As the tag is not found, no value is saved.
Notes:
1. The position and AGC value obtained through an RFID calibration are the optimum read/write position and
the optimum AGC value for the media at the print start position.
2. When the [ENTER] key is released within 3 seconds in the pause state, the [ENTER] key is invalid.
3. After performing an RFID calibration, the printer returns the RFID media to the print start position.
4. When the MOVE TO TEAROFF parameter is set to ON, an RFID calibration can be performed. In this case,
the printer feeds the RFID media to the print start position temporarily, performs an RFID calibration, then
returns the media to the former position.
5. If an engine-related error (such as print head open, paper end, ribbon end, and ribbon near end) occurs
during an RFID calibration, the printer stops at the position of the error occurs. Therefore, the media does
not return to the print start position (or the forwarded position in the case the MOVE TO TEAROFF
parameter is ON.) In this case, the
“5b. Result Not found screen” is displayed.
6. An RFID calibration is inoperable in the strip issue mode.
7. Do not send a command to the printer while an RFID calibration is being performed. If a command is sent
during an RFID calibration, printer operation is not guaranteed.
