Development
Overview
This chapter describes how to use the T5000e thermal printer RFID
UHF encoder. The RFID UHF encoder is designed to be
transparent to the printer operation. It provides the capability of
programming smart labels (with embedded RFID UHF tags) while
printing the label format. The smart labels are provided with the
printer or purchased separately from Printronix.
There are several ways to program RFID tags in smart labels:
Use the Software Migration Tools (SMT) to enable the printer to
automatically create RFID commands from your existing bar
code commands. These tools are described on page 63.
Incorporate RFID commands into new or existing Printronix
PGL programs. Command details start on page 55.
Incorporate RFID commands into new or existing ZPL
programs. By selecting the Printronix PPI1 emulation you can
seamlessly upgrade from Zebraprinters. Command details
start on page 60.
