 9855 RFIDMP (Radio Frequency Identification

Multi-Protocol) printer has been engineered to program (encode) an RFID
label (commonly called “RFID tags”) before the label’s format is printed.
RFID tags contain an embedded RFID chip and antenna. References to
“RFID tags” in this document refer to RFID supplies, not tag stock.

This RFID functionality is only available in the 9855 printer using thermal
transfer or thermal direct, die cut labels. The RFID printer is also
capable of printing standard (non-RFID) supplies. The knife option and
linerless supplies are not currently supported.

Using Version 3.2 or greater firmware, the printer supports multi-protocol
encoding, including Class 0+, Class 1 Generation (Gen) 1, Class 1
Generation (Gen) 2, and UCODE Version 1.19 supplies. Matrics 0+
protocol is only included for demo purposes and low encode yields are
expected. Contact your RFID Account Manager to obtain Matrics 0+
supplies in limited quantities for demo purposes.
