HF (High Frequency) RFID printer has been
engineered to program an HF RFID tag before the format is printed.
RFID tags, also called “transponders,” contain an embedded
programmable microchip and an antenna. RFID tags are inserted into
either label or tag stock for use in our RFID printers.
RFID is only available using die cut or black mark supplies. Linerless
supplies are not currently supported. The printer is also capable of
printing non-RFID supplies. See “About RFID Supplies” for more
information about supplies.
The HF printer supports multi-protocol encoding, including ISO15693 and
