Multi-Protocol RFID Printers/Encoders
|
| Built on the solid, tested XiIIIPlusTM platform, Zebra’s R110XiTM (for 4-inch smart labels) and R170XiTM (for 6-inch smart labels) printer/encoders are premier printers/encoders that combine two key functions for companies that need to comply with today’s RFID mandates – printing standard bar code labels and encoding data into a passive RFID transponder embedded in the label. The R110Xi and R170Xi combine the strengths and advantages of the Xi platform with the flexibility and versatility of the RFID reader module by ThingMagic®, developer of the world’s first EPC reader.
