Using Label Software

A version of NiceLabel labeling software, designed specially for Cognitive printers, is included on the Companion CD. This software provides label printing, label design, RFID write and RFID read capabilities. Refer to the NiceLabel help files for information on how to use this product with your Cognitive printer.

Using CPL Programming

RFID commands have been added to the CPL programming language. These new commands allow you to read and write data as well as print information on the tag. Commands and data are sent to the printer through a generic text printer driver. The commands prepare the printer to receive the tag, establish print position and characteristics, and terminate printing operation. Data is passed as ASCII text and may be printed on the label, encoded in an RFID device, or both.
