Chapter 1 Transitioning From UCC/GTIN Applications

Transitioning From UCC/GTIN Applications Using Printronix Software Migration Tools (SMT)

It is likely that your software is already set up to create bar codes. You may have also spent a lot of time creating compliance label templates & integrating them into your system. The Smart Label Developer’s Kit Software Migration Tools will allow you to effortlessly transition from printing compliance labels to smart labels.

How Printronix Makes It Easy

If you are printing bar codes now, you can print smart labels — no change to your host datastream or existing compliance templates is required.

How It Works

A set of Software Migration Tools has been created to intercept the bar code data in the host datastream and copy the data to a smart label RFID tag according to a set of rules. Each tool has been designed for a specific end-use application. By simply selecting the desired Software Migration Tool from the printer’s control panel, you automatically enable the printer to create an RFID smart label from your existing software application even if the software does not have the functionality to program RFID tags. The tools include:

•GTIN: Copies the Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN) bar code data for case and pallet labels onto the smart label’s RFID tag.

•EAN-8, EAN13, UPCA, and UCC128: These tools copy the data from their respective bar code symbologies to a smart label’s RFID tag. This enables the achievement of supply-chain efficiencies with RFID-ready trading partners while at the same time remaining compatible with those who are not.
