RFID Ready Option
Overview
This document describes the contents and installation of the M-Class Mark II RFID options.
Only qualified service personnel should perform this installation. After verifying the kit
contents and the tools needed, follow the steps below to install the option.
CAUTION
• This RFID device complies with FCC Radio Frequency exposure limits for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be inst alled and operated
with a minimum distance of 20cm between the radiator and your body. If
20cm distance cannot be maintained, end users are to be 20cm from
printer extremity.
• Any changes or modifications to this RFID module not expressly approved
by Datamax-O’Neil Corporation will void the us er’s authority to operate the
equipment.
• RFID operation is subject to the following two conditions : (A) this device
may not cause interference, and (B) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of
this device.
• For your safety and to avoid equipment damage, always turn OFF power
and unplug the printer’s power cord before beginning this installation and
when performing service.
•
To avoid equipment damage, never apply power to the printer with the
Antenna Cable disconnected.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
