Support for RFID Tags
With the labeling software you can program RFID tags of different manufacturers. It is important to
use NiceDriver printer driver for your thermal printer. You cannot program RFID tags, if you do not
use NiceDriver.
NiceDriver will let the labeling software know which types of RFID tags the printer supports.
Not all tag types are always available. It depends on each printer model what kind of RFID tags can
be used with it. There are generally two types of tags:
l
ISO tags (TagIt, iCode, ISO...): These are block oriented tags. The data can be encoded
in multiple blocks.
l
UHF tags (EPC): The data is encoded in one block of data.
You can input content for RFID tags using different methods, dependant on the tag type (UHF or
ISO).
For UHF tags
Data type: Data type of the selected tag can be specified here.
Data source: Incoming data that is encoded in the tag can be fixed value or acquired from
some variable, defined in the label.
Data size: The currently used data is previewed here. You can see the amount of space still
available in the tag. The occupancy of the tag is seen graphically with growing bar and numer-
ically with the digit, explaining the number of already used bytes.
Block locked: If you set the block as locked, the data will be permanently encoded into the
tag. You will not be able to erase this block to re-program it with some other value. Use this
option with caution!
For ISO tags
The blocks that are dimmed and unaccessible are reserved blocks that cannot be used.
Block Number: The successive number of block in the tag.
Data source: Select where the data block will receive the value from. It can be Fixed, where
you will manually type in the value or can be Variable, where the value is acquired from
some variable defined in the label.
Data: Type in the tag value manually, if the selected data type is Fixed. Select the variable
defined in the label, if the selected data type is Variable. If your variable length is greater
than the block size, the next block will automatically be reserved for the data.
Size: The currently used data is previewed here. You can see the amount of space still avail-
able in the tag. The occupancy of the tag is seen graphically with growing bar and numerically
with the digit, explaining the number of already used bytes.
Data type: The data can be encoded as ASCII string or as HEX encoded string.
Locked: If you set the block as locked, the data will be permanently encoded into the tag.
You will not be able to erase this block to re-program it with some other value. Use this
option with caution!
