The RX500e has a fixed RFID Encoder/Sensor which is in the middle of the print area. Each time a job with RFID encoding is sent to the printer the printer will automatically find and calibrate to the installed tag. If you would like to determine if the RFID Tags are detected before then you can check on the RFID tab within Primera PrintHub.

To test the RFID stock, click the Start Read/Write button.

If successful, you will see the Success entry for each attempt.

If the stock fails the test for any reason, stop the test and try pressing the Auto-Calibrate button. If the stock is still not writing/reading refer to the RFID tag specifications at the end of this section to make sure your stock is compatible.
