B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R Installation Manual
Thank you for purchasing TOSHIBA TEC UHF RFID kit, B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R.
The B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R is exclusively for the B-SX4T and B-SX5T series.
This RFID kit complies with EPCglobal Class1 Generation2 (Gen2) and radio laws of all applicable countries.
As this product is a wireless communication device, please be sure to read the following precautions carefully.
1. Do not use a printer embedded with this product near medical equipment. Radio wave emitted from this
product may affect the operation of medical equipment, such as an implanted cardiac pacemaker and
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
If a use of this product should be likely to have affected medical equipment, immediately turn off the product and
contact your TOSHIBA TEC sales agent.
Keep a printer embedded with this product at least 23cm away from a person with an implanted cardiac
pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.
2. Do not export a printer embedded with this product to the countries or areas where a use of this product is no
allowed, without permission. Doing so is against the law, and you may be punished.
When exporting this product, check the laws and regulations of a destination country and take necessar
procedures.
3. Follow all manual instructions. Failure to do so could create safety hazards such as fire or electrocution.
• Manual instructions must be followed when installing option kits or adding cables to avoid system failures
and to insure proper performance and operation.
• Failure to follow manual instructions or any unauthorized modifications, substitution or change to this
product will void the limited product warranty.
4. Turn the power OFF and disconnect the power cord before installing the RFID module.
5. Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands with the covers.
6. The print head and stepping motor becomes very hot immediately after printing. Do not touch the print head,
stepping motor and around it right after printing, or you may get burned.
7. When opening the top cover, it must be fully opened. Failure to do this may cause the top cover to close under
its own weight, resulting in an injury.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to damage the pattern of the Antenna Ass’y or peel off the Shield Sheet. Damaged pattern or
removed Shield Sheet may affect the ability to read or write RFID tags.

5 AGC THRESHOLD SETTING
The B-SX704-RFID-U2-US-R chooses a tag to write data on according to a radio intensity of RFID tags (AGC value).
An AGC threshold value has been set to 0 (00h) as factory default, but it may be necessary to change this value
according to the tag type to be used.
When the factory default threshold value is not proper for the tag type used, follow the procedure below to configure the
following settings.
As the changes are stored in the internal memory, they are retained after the printer power is turned off and on again.
When the tag type is changed or data write cannot be operated properly, perform the setting again.
Step 1. Load an RFID tag embedded media in the printer.
Step 2. Follow the procedure below to measure the radio intensity of the tags.
1) Place the media so that an RFID tag (IC chip) is positioned above the Antenna, and close the Top Cover.
Note: If an RFID tag is not positioned above the Antenna while the Print Head is at a print start position, use
@003 command to adjust the media position so that an RFID tag is positioned above the Antenna.
For detail of the command, refer to the External Equipment Interface Specification (Printer Command
Manual).
2） Start the printer in the system mode and perform a read test to measure the AGC value.
To measure the AGC value, place only one RFID tag on the Antenna.
