Introduction

Overview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method that relies on storing and retrieving data using

RFID tags. The tags, which are incorporated into labels, receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID

transceiver. This tag support lets you print on labels and simultaneously program embedded RFID tags.

Choosing an output device

Output devices used in printing labels include the 5-bin mailbox, the output expander, the high-capacity output stacker,

adjustable stacker, and the finisher staplesmart. Choose an output device based on the software program, the length of

label needed, and the number of labels that you expect to print at one time. To order an output device, visit the Lexmark

Web site at www.lexmark.com:

Output device Part number

5-bin Mailbox 20G0895

Output expander 20G0894

High-capacity output stacker 20G0896

Adjustable stacker 20G1360

Finisher StapleSmart 20G0897

Note: RFID media should not be directed to the T64x StapleSmart Finisher, if it is used as an output device. The standard

output bin should be used for all RFID media, even if recognized as defective. The T64x StapleSmart Finisher may still

be used for any non-RFID media.

Introduction

Preparing to print

Loading RFID labels

To load labels:

Note: Do not remove a tray when a job is printing or when the operator panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so may

cause a jam.

1Remove the tray from the printer, and place it on a flat, level surface.

2Squeeze the side guard tab, and slide the guide to the outer edge of the tray.

3Flex the label sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the label sheets.

Straighten the edges on a level surface.

4Place the label sheets with the print side facing down and the labels positioned at the back of the tray.

5Squeeze the rear guide tab, and slide the guide to the correct position for the size label sheets you are loading.

6Insert the tray into the printer.

The increased thickness of RFID labels reduces the input and output bin capacity. Test your software program to ensure

that you understand the reduced input and output bin capabilities. For information on label construction, see the Card

Stock and Label Guide on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
