The interior of the housing may constrain the spatial arrangement of the RFID transceiver and RFID transponder, thus limiting the available space and locations of the near field interrogation region. When the RFID transponder is disposed within the interior of a ribbon supply roll of a printer, the near field interrogation signal may become attenuated when propagating through the ribbon supply roll, and thus more input power is needed for the RFID transceiver to activate the RFID tag. In yet another example, RFID transponders attached to moving elements may have degraded or intermittent communicability with the near field interrogation signals.
