Development

Overview

This chapter describes how to use the RFID encoder. The RFID encoder is designed to be transparent to the printer operation. It provides the capability of programming smart labels (with embedded RFID tags) while printing the label format. The smart labels are provided with the printer or purchased separately from Printronix.

There are several ways to program RFID tags in smart labels:

•Use the Software Migration Tools (SMT) to enable the printer to automatically create RFID commands from your existing bar code commands. These tools are described on page 65.

•Incorporate RFID commands into new or existing Printronix PGL® programs. Command details start on page 35.

•Incorporate RFID commands into new or existing ZPL™ programs. By selecting the Printronix PPI/ZGL emulation you can seamlessly upgrade from Zebra™ printers. Command details start on page 55.

•Incorporate RFID commands into new or existing SATO® printer language programs. By selecting the Printronix PPI/STGL emulation you can seamlessly upgrade from SATO printers. Command details start on page 63.
