Your printer has been engineered to program (encode) an
RFID (Radio Frequenc y Identification) 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.
The printer supports Class 1 Generation 2 (C1Gen2)
protocol encoding.
