A-Class | H-Class | M-Class Mark II RFID Specification Brochure Datamax – has taken the concept of RFID and smart labels and made it so user friendly, so dynamic and so robust that a revolution has been created in the smart label printing industry! The Datamax Engineering Team used their long history of innovation in printer design and channeled this experience toward designing a new smart label printer. This printer can encode data onto Radio Frequency (RF) chips embedded into a label – also known as a smart label – creating a powerful Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) label printer that is as easy for users to own and operate as other Datamax printers. The astonishing result of this activity is a collection of printers designed to ease users into RFID label printing applications while minimizing risk. RFID-UHF Printers Datamax offers printers that support the UHF band; the A-Class print engine for printer applicator integration, the H-Class and the new M-Class Mark II. These printers are ideal for achieving compliance with mandates from large retailers and purchasing organizations, as well as economical enough for those users developing closed loop applications to streamline internal processes. All Datamax RFID-UHF printers support EPCglobal and ISO standards for Ultra High Frequency (UHF) applications including Gen2. The robust multi-protocol RFID tag encoder in these printers is capable of performing multiple procedures, including writing data to RFID tags, querying the tags unique identification number, and auto calibration of the tag to ensure no valuable RFID smart labels are wasted. RFID-HF Printers For those users that need to encode High Frequency 13.56 MHz smart label tags to fulfill their printing and RFID encoding requirements, Datamax offers a choice of printers. These include the M-Class Mark II, H-Class, and I-Class. These RFID printers support the ISO 15693 standard at 13.56 MHz. Like the UHF models, the HF model is capable of performing multiple procedures, including writing data to RFID tags, querying the tags unique identification number, and auto calibration of the tag to ensure no valuable RFID smart labels are wasted. For more information on Datamax RFID products please access the white paper through the link below, or contact Datamax directly.
