Tools List

Software Migration Tools (SMT)

There are SMTs for six separate end-use applications supporting both PGL and PPI/ZGL datastreams with 64 and 96 bit tag options for a total of 24 tools. Each tool intercepts bar code data in a host datastream and copies the data to an RFID tag (embedded in a smart label) according to a set of rules as defined below. SMTs assume that only one bar code of the type being processed is present. In the event that there is more than one of a given type of barcode present, only the first is processed.

Bar code information encoded as dynamic data is supported. To avoid ambiguity, where bar code data is provided in the form of dynamic data, the RFID tag will be encoded with only the contents of the first variable bar code field. It is your responsibility to ensure that the first variable bar code is the desired bar code.

NOTE: Dynamic data is variable data entered into specific locations on each form definition. Each time the form prints, a single command enters new data into those locations supplied in the datastream after form definition has been completed.

Tools List

GTIN (64 bit) / GTIN_96 (96 bit): According to Uniform Code Council standards there are two permissible bar codes on standard case labels: UCC-128 and Interleaved Two of Five (ITF14). These are the typical bar code carriers for the GTIN (Global Trade Identification Number). This tool copies data from either an ITF14, or from a UCC-128 barcode with an Application Identifier of 01 (which indicates an SCC-14) to an RFID tag. If barcode checksum data is included in your datastream, it will be encoded onto the tag. If your datastream requests the printer to calculate the bar code checksum, it will not be encoded onto the tag. In the case of the UCC bar code, the (01) application identifier is not written to the tag. Data written to the RFID tag is right justified and zero padded.
