RFID Devices and Tag Types

In order to encode data on RFID labels and tags, an RFID device must support specific RFID commands.  Some RFID printers exclusively support encoding to UHF tag types.  Others will write only to HF tags.  A few printers support both UHF and HF tags.

The tables below list current Loftware RFID printers and the tag types each supports.  (RFID Readers are documented in a separate guide.)

RFID UHF Printers

This table shows Loftware RFID Gen 1 and Gen 2 UHF printers for smart labels and the UHF tag types each supports.

DSO Error Messages

When an RFID Reader is configured using the Device Configuration grid, its Device Specific Options (DSO) can be viewed and edited when it is selected from the grid and the Options button is pressed.  There are situations when the Options information for the selected device cannot be retrieved and may trigger error messages, including:
