GETTING STARTED

Your Monarch 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 inlay (chip and antenna).

RFID is only available using die cut or black mark supplies. Linerless

supplies are not currently supported. The RFID printer is also capable of

printing standard (non-RFID) supplies. For more information about

supplies, see “About RFID Supplies

.”

The printer supports multi-protocol encoding, including Class 1

Generation 1 (C1Gen1), Class 1 Generation 2 (C1Gen2), and EM4122

supplies.
