EasyCoder Printer (PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i ) RFID User’s Guide 5

What Is the RFID Kit?

The RFID kit is an option for the EasyCoder® PM4i, PX4i, or

PX6i printer. With this option, your printer can read and write to

RFID tags.

The internal RFID radio module operates on the UHF band at

869 MHz or 915 MHz depending on your region.

The RFID interface board occupies one of the slots for optional

interfaces in the back of the printer and features an extra RS-232

serial interface:

•For printers running Fingerprint, the RS-232 connector is

referred to as “uart2:”, “uart3:” or “uart4:” depending on

which slot is used and what other optional devices are

installed.

•For printers running IPL, the RS-232 connector is not

functional.

Note: The RFID kit is available as a factory- or field-installed

option. The field-installed kit must be installed by an Intermec

authorized service technician. For help, contact your local

Intermec representative.

If you open the electronics cover, you will void the warranty

and may cause damage to the internal components. Opening

the electronics cover exposes the user to shock hazards,

which may result in injury or death.

The RFID Kit (Gen 2, 869 MHz) uses an

EPCglobal Gen 2-certified IM4 Module (86X

MHz RFID frequency band).

The RFID Kit (Gen 2, 915 MHz) uses an

EPCglobal Gen 2-certified IM4 Module (915

MHz RFID frequency band).

Firmware Requirements

Your printer must be running one of these firmware options:

•For IM4 v7.16, you need Fingerprint or IPL version x.72.0 or

later.

•For IM4 v8.11, you need Fingerprint or IPL version x.76.0 or

later.

The ISO15961/15962 standard (used in airline bagtag

applications) is only supported by Fingerprint. The ability to

read the TAGID string from the display is only supported by IPL.

You can download the latest version of firmware from the

Intermec web site at www.intermec.com.

Media Requirements

Intermec strongly recommends using Intermec RFID media

only. For help, contact your Intermec representative.

Sending RFID Commands

Use one of these methods to send RFID commands

•Write a Fingerprint or IPL application to send RFID

commands.

•Send single Fingerprint or IPL commands remotely from

your PC.

•Use a third-party label design tool and connectivity software,

such as LabelShop or XMLLabel.

Using RFID

This section describes how to use RFID on PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i

printers. Unless otherwise noted, all information applies to each

printer running Fingerprint or IPL.

Printing on RFID Media

Media containing RFID tags is slightly thicker where the RFID

tag is located. The slight thickness of this part of the label may

affect print quality. For thermal transfer labels, Intermec

recommends using a high-quality ink ribbon, such as TMX 2304

or TMX 1500.

8 EasyCoder Printer (PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i ) RFID User’s Guide

To achieve the best possible print quality, follow these guidelines:

•After you load RFID media, restart the printer or run a

TESTFEED to let the printer identify the RFID media type.

•If necessary, modify the TAGADJUST variable to make sure

that the RFID labels are properly aligned with the antenna.

For help, see “RFID,TAGADJUST” on page 12.

•If necessary, avoid printing on the thickest part of the label.

•For printers running Fingerprint:

•If you are using thermal transfer labels, start with the

ribbon constant set to 80 and the ribbon factor set to 25.

You may need to adjust these values depending on the

type of media you choose.

•To write to Gen 2 RFID tags using the TAGFIELD

command, set the start and length parameters to even

numbers.

•For printers running IPL:

•Start with the sensitivity set to 565. You may need to

adjust this value depending on the type of media you

choose.

•To write to Gen 2 RFID tags, set the start and length

parameters of the RFID tag field setup command (a) to

even numbers.

Printing a Test Label

When you print a test label, the printer prints the tag type name

on the next available label on the media roll. You can print a test

label from:

•the printer’s console.

•the printer’s home page.

To print a test label from the printer’s console

1On your printer console, press Setup.

2For Fingerprint printers, navigate to Print Defs > Testprint

> RFID Test Label, and press Enter.

For IPL printers, navigate to Test/Service > Testprint >

Config > RFIDlabel.

EasyCoder Printer (PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i ) RFID User’s Guide 9

To print a test label from the printer’s home page

1Make sure you have an EasyLAN Ethernet card installed in

your printer.

2Find your printer’s IP address:

aOn your printer console, press Setup.

bNavigate to Network > IP Address.

3On your PC, run your web browser application.

4In the address field, enter your printer’s IP address. The

printer’s home page appears.

5From the main menu, select Configuration.

6Select Printer > Web shell.

7From the drop-down menu, select RFID Test label. Your

printer prints a test label.

Configuring RFID Parameters

Configure the RFID parameters to meet your needs. You can

configure the RFID parameters:

•from the printer’s console.

•from the printer’s home page.

•using Fingerprint or IPL commands.

•using SmartSystems Foundation. For more information, go

to www.intermec.com/SmartSystems.

•using Wavelink Avalanche. For more information, go to

www.intermec.com/products/avalanche/index.aspx.

Using the Printer’s Console

1On your printer console, select Setup > RFID.

2Use the setup tree to navigate to the parameter you want to

configure.
