EPC UHF Gen 2 Printing / Encoding

 
For leading organizations who have committed to using EPC UHF technology for their RFID pilots, Zebra offers a free firmware upgrade to support the new Gen 2 standard for Zebra’s multi-protocol RFID printer/encoders -- the R110Xi and the R170Xi, the European R4Mplus, as well as the R110PAX4 print engine

A variety of Gen 2 RFID smart labels, featuring transponders from leading suppliers, are also available at competitive prices. Need a custom smart label? Zebra is the answer to all your Gen2 needs, getting you up and running fast.

Zebra’s UHF R110Xi, R170Xi, European R4Mplus, and R110PAX4 printer/encoders use software-defined architecture in the reader/encoder component allowing for easy and free firmware upgrades to support Gen 2 protocols.

Unlike competitive models, which may require multiple firmware downloads to support transponders or may even require costly hardware upgrades to support new protocols, users of Zebra’s printer/encoders download once to obtain free firmware that immediately can support new Gen 2 protocols as well as existing legacy protocols already installed in printer/encoders.

ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise
A printer management system such as ZebraNet Bridge Enterprise can remotely upload the firmware directly to printer/encoders through a network connection, with no need to physically attend to each device. If grouping and profiling features are provided, every Zebra printer/encoder in your enterprise can be upgraded in the same amount of time it would take to upgrade one, thereby multiplying the administrative time-savings.

FREE FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD
Zebra customers who have previously purchased the R110Xi, R170Xi, the European R4Mplus, or the R110PAX4 can download a free version of the most current firmware for your printer/encoder and your specific country.
