IntroductionOverview of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method that relies on storing and retrieving data usingRFID tags. The tags, which are incorporated into labels, receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFIDtransceiver. This tag support lets you print on labels and simultaneously program embedded RFID tags.Choosing an output deviceOutput devices used in printing labels include the 5-bin mailbox, the output expander, the high-capacity output stacker,adjustable stacker, and the finisher staplesmart. Choose an output device based on the software program, the length oflabel needed, and the number of labels that you expect to print at one time. To order an output device, visit the LexmarkWeb site at www.lexmark.com:Output device Part number5-bin Mailbox 20G0895Output expander 20G0894High-capacity output stacker 20G0896Adjustable stacker 20G1360Finisher StapleSmart 20G0897Note: RFID media should not be directed to the T64x StapleSmart Finisher, if it is used as an output device. The standardoutput bin should be used for all RFID media, even if recognized as defective. The T64x StapleSmart Finisher may stillbe used for any non-RFID media.Lexmark Confidential until announcedIntroduction5
Preparing to printLoading RFID labelsTo load labels:Note: Do not remove a tray when a job is printing or when the operator panel indicator light is blinking. Doing so maycause a jam.1Remove the tray from the printer, and place it on a flat, level surface.2Squeeze the side guard tab, and slide the guide to the outer edge of the tray.3Flex the label sheets back and forth to loosen them, and then fan them. Do not fold or crease the label sheets.Straighten the edges on a level surface.4Place the label sheets with the print side facing down and the labels positioned at the back of the tray.5Squeeze the rear guide tab, and slide the guide to the correct position for the size label sheets you are loading.6Insert the tray into the printer.The increased thickness of RFID labels reduces the input and output bin capacity. Test your software program to ensurethat you understand the reduced input and output bin capabilities. For information on label construction, see the CardStock and Label Guide on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.Lexmark Confidential until announcedPreparing to print6

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) compliance information statementThis product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operationis subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interferencereceived, including interference that may cause undesired operation.The FCC Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in aresidential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordancewith the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occurin a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turningthe equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.•Consult your point of purchase or service representative for additional suggestions.The manufacturer is not responsible for radio or television interference caused by using other than recommended cables or by unauthorizedchanges or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.Note: To assure compliance with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a Class B computing device, use a properly shielded andgrounded cable such as Lexmark part number 1021294 for USB attach. Use of a substitute cable not properly shielded and grounded may resultin a violation of FCC regulations.Any questions regarding this compliance information statement should be directed to:Director of Lexmark Technology & ServicesLexmark International, Inc.740 West New Circle RoadLexington, KY 40550(859) 232–3000Industry Canada compliance statementThis Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard ICES-003.Avis de conformité aux normes de l’industrie du CanadaCet appareil numérique de classe B est conforme aux exigences de la norme canadienne relative aux équipements pouvant causer desinterférences NMB-003.Exposure to radio frequency radiationThe radiated output power of this device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. A minimum separation of 20 cm (8 inches) mustbe maintained between the antenna and any persons for this device to satisfy the RF exposure requirements of the FCC.Noise emission levelsThe following measurements were made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296.Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.1-meter average sound pressure, dBAPrinting 53 dBReady 30 dBValues are subject to change.

Laser noticeThe printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhereis certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1.Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 5 milliwattgallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength of 770-795 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never anyhuman access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.Laser advisory labelA laser notice label may be affixed to this printer as shown:Power consumptionProduct power consumptionThe following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.Mode Description Power consumption (Watts)Printing The product is generating hard-copy output from electronic inputs. 525 WCopying The product is generating hard-copy output from hard-copy original documents. N/AScanning The product is scanning hard-copy documents. N/AReady The product is waiting for a print job. 90 WPower Saver The product is in energy-saving mode. 20 WHigh Off The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned off. N/ALow Off (<1 W Off) The product is plugged into a wall outlet, the power switch is turned off, and the productis in the lowest possible power consumption mode. N/AOff The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch is turned off. 0 WThe power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may besubstantially higher than the average.Values are subject to change. See www.lexmark.com for current values.Power SaverThis product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to the EPA Sleep Mode. ThePower Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automaticallyengaged after this product is not used for a specified period of time, called the Power Saver Timeout.Factory default Power Saver Timeout for this product (in minutes): 30 MinutesBy using the configuration menus, the Power Saver Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes. Setting the Power SaverTimeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response time of the product. Setting the Power Saver Timeout toa high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.Off modeIf this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power consumption, disconnectthe power supply cord from the wall outlet.Total energy usageIt is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of Watts, thepower consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total productenergy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.Lexmark Confidential until announcedNotices15
