RFID Tags

RFID tags are the label template elements which you can not see on the preview, but the printer (if compatible) can program the RFID tag placed on the label material during the print process.

Open the label template editor

You can use an existing template or create a new one for this tutorial. If you don’t know how to do it or you would like to learn basic information about the sizes and positioning of elements on the label, check out this this tutorial first.

What is RFID

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. An RFID system consists of a tiny radio transponder, a radio receiver and transmitter. When triggered by an electromagnetic interrogation pulse from a nearby RFID reader device, the tag transmits digital data, usually an identifying inventory number, back to the reader. (source: Wikipedia)

RFID tag parameters

  • Name – any name you choose, it helps you identify an element
  • Description – optional field, designed to allow you to describe the item in more detail
  • Save to Memory bank 01 – UII / EPC – a check box to decide whether data is to be written to the memory bank 11 or not
  • Memory bank 01 value expression – value expression generating the value for memory bank 01
  • Use hexadecimal format compilant with ISO 17367 – ISO 17367 defines the basic features of RFID for use in the supply chain when applied to product tagging
  • Save to Memory bank 11 – User memory – a check box to decide whether data is to be written to the memory bank 11 or not
  • Memory bank 11 value expression – value expression generating the value for memory bank 11
