The R2844-Z RFID smart label printer/encoder provides expanded connectivity, superior performance, and the widest range of support for 13.56 MHz RFID transponders, making it ideal for applications in industries that include:

• Healthcare/Pharmaceutical

• Amusement parks/Entertainment venues

• Libraries

• Express parcel delivery

• Supply chain management

• Asset tracking

The smart choice—print and encode data using one advanced solution.

Fulfilling the need for a compact RFID printing solution that can encode smart labels at the point of use, the R2844-Z printer/encoder is one of the most versatile in the industry!

Designed for printing and encoding smart media such as wristbands and smart labels, the R2844-Z meets the needs of applications requiring greater processing speed and more connectivity choices—such as standard serial, parallel, and

USB ports, and optional Ethernet. It also offers the widest range of supported 13.56 MHz RFID transponders, including

Philips’ I-Code ® , Philips’ EPC, TI’s Tag-it ® , Inside Technologies’

PicoTag ® , and ISO 15693 from Philips, Infineon, and Texas

Instruments. Transponder sizes can range from 12 x 28 mm to 90 x 130 mm.

RFID from Your Desktop

The R2844-Z features a programmable print position for flexible transponder placement. With a compact footprint, and a powerful processor that delivers faster print speed, it is the ideal solution for low-volume desktop applications.

Because the R2844-Z is Flash upgradeable, new RFID protocols can be added as they are developed.
