Cautions for using RFID Tags
(1) Location of RFID Tag
The location of an RFID tag in a label influences on the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag. It is
impossible to define the one best location for every RFID tag in labels because the best location depends on the
type of RFID tag and RFID tag antenna.
The RFID Analyze Tool can evaluate the accuracy of writing data on the RFID tag.
For the RFID Analyze Tool, please contact the dealer or your nearest TOSHIBA TEC representative.
As a guideline, the best location for some common RFID tags is given below.
It is recommended to use the RFID Analyze Tool to evaluate the accuracy of writing data on an RFID tag to be
used, then determine a specific location of the RFID tag.
If the RFID tag cannot be placed on the best location specified, contact the dealer or nearest TOSHIBA TEC
representative.
Note that the best location described in this specification may not be applicable depending on the type or paper
or glue even if the same RFID tags are used. This guideline applies to RFID labels for thermal transfer issue.
When using the media made of PET or thermal paper, the best location needs to be found again.
Example 1) UPM Raflatac’s Rafsec Short Dipole 2 Tag
It is recommended to locate the vertical center of an RFID tag at 27 mm ± 3 mm from a leading edge of a label
and align the horizontal center with the horizontal center of the label.
