RFID Guidelines

Overview

The R110XiIIIplus “smart” label printer-encoders serve as dynamic tools for both printing and

encoding RFID labels, tickets, and tags. The printer encodes information on ultra-thin UHF

RFID transponders embedded in “smart” labels. It then immediately verifies proper encoding

and prints bar codes, graphics, and/or text on the label’s surface. For more information about

RFID media, see RFID “Smart” Labels on page 16.

Function of an encoded “smart” label depends on factors such as where the label is placed on

an item as well as on the contents of the item (such as metals or liquids). Contact the supplier

of your RFID transponders for assistance with these types of issues.

Transponder Placement

Communication between the “smart” label and the printer is established when the transponder

lines up with the printer’s antenna. The optimal transponder position varies with the

transponder size, its configuration, and the type of RFID IC chip used.

Print quality may be affected by printing directly over the transponder. In particular,

there is an area on each label immediately around the location of the IC chip where the

printer may print with low quality. Design your printed label around the location of the

chip in the type of approved “smart” label that you select. For the list of approved

transponders and related placement specifications, go to

Important • It is important to use transponders that have been specifically approved for use in

this RFID printer. Failure to do so may result in the inability to read or write to the embedded

RFID tags. As new transponders become commercially available, Zebra will evaluate them for

compatibility with this printer. For the list of approved transponders, go to
