Yes, both models have been updated with these changes.
What are the on-metal tags used in my T6000e?
On-metal tags (sometimes called metal-mount or anti-metal tags) are RFID tags that are designed to operate on devices made of metal. The physical properties of metal serve to reflect RF signals and so a standard RFID label would be completely undetectable by an RFID reader. On-metal tags are typically constructed with a thin foam insulator to provide a space between the metal surface and the RFID inlay. On-metal tags are available in several constructions and the ones used with printers are typically up to 1mm thick due to the foam insulator. They also should include a “bridge” between the individual tags to ensure smooth transport through the print station.
What are the standard and optional communication interface ports for the T6000e?
Standard Interfaces:USB, Serial, USB host/device and Ethernet. Optional Interfaces: Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPIO, and parallel
What are the target applications for the T6000e?

The ODV-2D can handle the full suite of 1D barcodes (Code 39 CODABAR Interleafed 2 of 5 Code 93 Code 128 UPC/EAN plus add-ons PDF417 (Limited) For 2D barcodes, the printer is currently able to handle DataMatrix and PDF417. QR codes, PDF417 Micro, PDF417 Truncated barcodes are under development and test. We will let you know as soon as they are available. Please check the Specification section on the Printronix Auto ID website for ODV-2D for the latest status.
What has changed in the printer to accomplish this?
To allow thicker tags to move through the print station, several design changes were made:
1. An upgrade gap sensor assembly
2. Changes to the media guide configuration
3. The external antenna assembly was modified
What has changed on the T6000e RFID printer regarding on-metal tag support?
The original T6000e supported on-metal tags up to 1.2mm thick while the mainstream on-metal RFID tag market has settled on thicknesses ranging from 1.0mm to 1.5mm. To support the mainstream tag market we have re-designed the printer to support on-metal tags up to 2.2mm.
What RFID labels are supported on the T6000e?
The T6000e supports a wide range of standard UHF EPCglobal Gen2 RFID labels and On-Metal RFID tags. We can provide you with a list of validated labels and tags. This list is constantly undated as new RFID inlays and tags become available on the market and are validated on Printronix Auto ID printers in the RFID Label and Tag test lab.
What sets the T6000e apart from other brands of midrange industrial thermal barcode printers on the market?
T6000e sets a new standard for productivity and versatility where speed, exceptional print quality and advanced features such as RFID are needed. The T6000e was designed and tested to a high mean time between failure (MTBF) standard, continuing Printronix Auto ID's reputation for offering high reliability products.
What types of on-metal tags are supported on the T6000e?
Unlike most thermal printers on the market today, the T6000e was designed from the ground up to support a variety of on-metal tags up to 1.2mm thick. Printronix posts a list of validated on-metal tags on the RFID Support page of printronixautoid.com website. This is constantly undated as new tags become available on the market and are validated on our printers in our RFID Label and Tag test lab.
Why are installation and service costs for the ODV-2D higher than the ODV-1D?
The ODV-2D option is a state-of-the-art image capture technology that is more versatile and complex than the ODV-1D. As a result, more time is allowed for both installing and servicing the ODV-2D to precisely calibrate the printer to match high levels of performance and production.
Will the ODV-2D be installed and supported the same as the ODV-1D?
No, the ODV-2D comes either pre-installed at the factory or included in the printer carton for installation at the site. We still require reseller certification to enhance the ability of the reseller to provide assistance with any calibration or validation questions.
