Using Label Software

A version of NiceLabel labeling software, designed specially for

Cognitive printers, is included on the Companion CD. This software
provides label printing, label design, RFID write and RFID read

capabilities. Refer to the NiceLabel help files for information on how to
use this product with your Cognitive printer.

Using CPL Programming

RFID commands have been added to the CPL programming language.
These new commands allow you to read and write data as well as print

information on the tag. Commands and data are sent to the printer
through a generic text printer driver. The commands prepare the

printer to receive the tag, establish print position and characteristics,

and terminate printing operation. Data is passed as ASCII text and
may be printed on the label, encoded in an RFID device, or both.
