Encoding RFID tags using PDF documents
The built-in PDF interpreter in Lexmark printers processes and prints PDF documents without a print driver. The
RFID printer uses this feature to encode RFID tags when printing PDF documents.
Inserting the tag command into the PDF document
1
Using any application that supports the ISO 32000
‑
1:2008 standard, create a PDF document.
2
Using the RFID Tag Command Generator, insert the tag command into the PDF document.
Note: For multiple
‑
page documents, we recommend inserting the tag command on the first page.
For example, to add the RFID data and rename a PDF document by appending
RFID
to the file name, the
command line is:
RFIDTagGen -i INV12345.pdf -o INV2345RFID.pdf -jf parameters.json -d 12345
