Print & encode your own RFID tags
February 1st 2006 Gen2 RFID tags can now be printed and encoded inhouse, on demand, with the updated SATO CL400e series thermal label printers.
The CL408e (8dots/mm) and CL412e (12dots/mm) barcode printers offer the latest in UHF RFID multi-protocol technology, supporting Class 1 and Class 0+ as well as ISO 18000 standards, now widely adopted throughout Europe. SATO's RFID module also supports worldwide frequency bands for use around the globe.
The tabletop CL400e Series is a tried and tested label printer. The current cost-effective model offers speed and ruggedness. With the RFID module added, the CL400e printer provides high performance, highspeed label throughput so businesses can print and encode their own Gen2 RFID products in one simple step.
Stephen Hull is RFID product manager at SATO America, where the marriage of machine and RFID module was first developed and tested. He commented: "SATO has been working diligently to complement its RFID offerings with Gen 2 enabled printers. To do so we have worked closely with Gen 2 inlay manufacturers to create a truly interoperable RFID printer.
With these efforts and strong alliances we will make adoption of Gen 2 as seamless as possible for all our customers." More articles from Sato UK Limited: |
