T654 RFID UHF Option

The RFID tag may be located within a large area of the media sheet and may be oriented either parallel to or perpendicular to the long edge of the media. The tag location limitations and recommendations are shown in the T65x RFID UHF User's Guide.

The StapleSmart II Finisher (30G0850) may not be used with RFID media. The 5-Bin Mailbox (30G0852) is not recommend for use with the RFID media.

Other locations for the RFID tag may be acceptable. Please consult with the Lexmark Specialty Media Support Group for additional information. Do not place a large order for media without first verifying that the selected media design provides acceptable printing performance and transport reliability, and that the selected RFID tag is successfully programmed by the RFID Option.

All RFID tags must be built to EPC class 1 generation 2 specifications (ISO 18000-6C).

RFID Programming while Printing speed: Up to 20 ppm when programming RFID tags using letter size media. Individual ppm performance may vary depending on media size, type, RFID tag and image complexity.

RFID Tag Location

The RFID tag can be located on either the printed or non-printed side of the media, although printing on the tag is not recommended.

See the RFID UHF Option User’s Guide Supplement for tag placement details.
