Send the updated PDF document to the printer.
Notes:
•
Do not print the updated PDF document using a print driver. The driver converts the document into a
PCL or PostScript
®
file and removes the tag command.
•
The updated PDF document is compatible with all standard PDF readers and printers. Only Lexmark
RFID printers can process the RFID tag command.
•
Other printers print the document and ignore the RFID tag command.
Encoding RFID tags using PCL data stream
When the print driver receives a print job, it interprets the characters in Segoe Print font as an RFID tag command.
The tag command must be included on the first page of the document.
Before you begin, make sure that:
•
You have installed the special
‑
release version of the Lexmark Universal Print Driver PCL 5 emulation. For
more information, see
“Installing the print driver” on page 10
•
The printer is connected to your computer using the special
‑
release version of the print driver.
•
The Segoe Print font is installed in your computer.
•
You have downloaded the RFID Tag Command Generator. To download the utility, go to
.
Data search and replace
Only the data portion of the tag command changes between print jobs. The portion that contains the setup
parameters, such as memory bank, passwords, tag location, and source tray, is static.
To avoid the frequent use of the RFID Tag Command Generator, search the data from the tag command, and
then replace it.

Using the RFID Tag Command Generator, create an RFID tag command. Make sure that the values for the
setup parameters are set.
For example, you may convert the following command line into a tag command:
RFIDTagGen
‑
hex
‑
d
009590860000000000248611
‑
xpos 260
‑
ypos 108
‑
source 3
‑
gen_tc
where:
•
009590860000000000248611
is the tag data.
•
‑
xpos 260
is the vertical position of the RFID tag and its value in millimeters.
•
‑
ypos 108
is the horizontal position of the RFID tag and its value in millimeters.
•
‑
source 3
is the input tray source.
