Symptom Print is missing or cut off print when trying to print towards the leading edge of the label. Applies To RFID Printers Cause or Overview You may experence missing or cut off print when trying to print towards the leading edge of the label. This is generally seen when using RFID Tags that do not meet Zebra's placement specification for the printer and the data to be printed on the tag is after the ^RF ZPL command in the label format. See Placement Specification Read More>> For example, the following ZPL code on a 4x2 label with a tag at x = 32: ^XA Produces the following label:
For the tag used in this example the recommened placement specification is x = 20. In order to properly read or encode the tag a relative program position of F12 (32-20) is used. This moves the label forward 12mm to encode the RFID tag. Once the label has been moved forward the leading edge of the label is past the print line and the image will be truncated.
