Instruction manual
Protocol
The multi-protocol printer supports the following UHF protocols:
Protocol Use to…
C1Gen2
Class 1 Generation 2
Program
♦ 96-Bits of data into a 96-Bit RFID tag
♦ 64-Bits of data into a 96-Bit RFID tag
The printer also accepts EPC data following the guidelines in
the EPCglobal
Tag Data Standards Specification, which
conforms to the EPC Radio-Frequency Identity Protocols
Class 1 Generation 2 UHF RFID Protocol for Communications
at 860-960MHz Standards (RFID Air Interface protocol).
C1Gen1 96
Class1 Generation 1 96-Bits
Program 96-Bits of data into a 96-Bit RFID tag.
C1Gen1 EPC64/96
Class 1 Generation 1 EPC
Program
♦
96-Bits of EPC data into a 96-Bit RFID tag
♦ 64-Bits of EPC data into a 64-Bit RFID tag
♦ 64-Bits of EPC data into a 96-Bit RFID tag
You must use EPC data following the guidelines in the
EPC
Generation 1 Tag Data Standards Specification for
this protocol. Refer to the EPC Specification to create valid
EPC data. The first byte of EPC data determines the amount
of data to program (64 or 96-Bits). Then, the 9855 printer
programs the RFID tag accordingly.
EM4122 Read 64-Bits of EM4122 data from the RFID tag. The
EM4122 protocol is read only from a pre-programmed RFID
tag. You cannot program RFID data using the EM4122
protocol. To read data with EM4122, you must include
Option 5 (Define Data Entry Sources) in your format. See
Chapter 4, “Defining the RFID Data Field
” for more
information. Contact your RFID Account Manager to obtain
EM4122 supplies.
After you select a different protocol, you are prompted to enter the new
Read/Write Power settings and the Signal Adjustment. Refer to the RFID
Setup Guide & Supply Chart provided with your printer for more
information about those settings.
