Smart Label
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.
