i7500 RFID - Technical Specifications

Smart Mode: When using i75RFID-series label and ribbon rolls. 

Manual Modes: When using non-i75RFID-series label and ribbon rolls.

Yes - using i75RFID-series rolls the printer reads smart chip on supplies for no-waste printing and RFID encoding; requires no calibration of blank labels; has pre-optimized heat and RFID encoding settings and features auto label setup in Brady software. 

When using i75RFID-series rolls no calibration required and no wasted labels. 

Sensor location, sensor mode, speed and heat settings are auto- set. The antenna and RF power settings are auto-set for RFID encoding. 

Labels: Open core roll with i75 smart chip, feed material into guides, 20-second changeover, no need to set sensor or calibrate

Ribbon: On a cartridge, slides into place and always self-centers with ink facing label, 20-second changeover

Labels: Open core non-smart roll, feed material into guides, set sensor and calibrate out blank labels

Ribbon: Open core manual roll, slides into place. Must center, must check ink-side

Variable widths to improve printhead protection with narrow supplies - field installable

To avoid excessive printhead wear, print roller should be wider than label media and ribbon should be wider than roller — this prevents exposed printhead against exposed roller.
