Defining the RFID Data Field
The RFID Data Field contains the information you want programmed into the
RFID tag. The syntax of the RFID Data Field is similar to the standard
non-printable text field format. RFID is only supported on the 9855
printer. Printing over the RFID tag (or transponder) causes printing
irregularity. For more information about RFID, refer to the Multi-Protocol
Application Notes, available on our Web site.
¨ With version 2.8 or greater firmware, the printer supports both 64-bit and
96-bit RFID tags.
¨ With version 3.2 or greater firmware, the printer supports multi-protocol
encoding, including Class 1 Generation (Gen) 1 and Class 1 Generation
(Gen) 2 supplies.
¨ With version 5.0 or greater firmware, the printer accepts EPC data
following the guidelines in the EPCglobalä Tag Data Standards, which
conforms to the EPCä Radio Frequency Identity Protocols Class 1
Generation 2 UHF RFID Protocol for Communications at 860-960MHz
Standards (Air Interface Protocol). See “Using Expanded Gen2 Data” in
Chapter 6, “Printing,” for more information.

X1. X RFID Data Field.
X2. field# Unique number from 0 to 999 assigned to this field.
X3. # of char This number must be equal to or greater than the total number of
characters in the RFID Data Field. Range: 0 to 2710. The amount varies
according to your RFID data and protocol. For example, C1Gen2 can be
96-Bits, plus the access password, lock code, etc.
Note: An error 715 occurs if the printer does not receive the correct
amount of data.
You can pad data to make sure you have the correct amount of
bits. See “Option 30,” in Chapter 4 for more information.
