[November 04, 2004] TEKLYNX Announces Driver Support For Zebra RFID Printers MILWAUKEE --(Business Wire)-- Nov. 4, 2004 -- CODESOFT 7.1 label design software supports new RFID printers, offering the industry's first closed-loop RFID label printing solution... TEKLYNX(R) International, the world's leading developer of software products for the AIDC marketplace, today announced that CODESOFT(R) 7.1 Enterprise label design and integration software supports the Zebra R402, Zebra R2844-Z, and Zebra R4MPlus (203 dpi) bar code printer/encoder models. Using CODESOFT 7.1 and Zebra printers, users can design and print bar codes, human-readable text, and graphics on the label surface, as well as read, encode, and verify information programmed to the ultra-thin RFID transponder embedded inside the label. With specific RFID tag support varying by printer model, CODESOFT 7.1 can encode popular High Frequency (HF) and Ultra High Frequency (UHF) tags including Philips - I--Code, TI - Tag-it, Inside Tech - Pico Tag, Infineon - ISO15693, Philips - ISO15693, TI - ISO15693, EPC Philips HF 96 bits, and Alien (EPC Class 1) RFID transponders. "With the release of the new Zebra RFID printer drivers we are able to provide customers with an ideal solution to print the labels, program/verify the data on the RFID chip, and associate the data on the label (and in the box/pallet) with the unique ID of the RFID tag," said David Pettiford, global product marketing manager. "This type of 'closed-loop' RFID label printing solution supports bi-directional communication with the tag, allowing suppliers to keep a history of tags printed and/or use the unique tag ID in a field to be printed on the label." CODESOFT 7.1 users can update the Zebra RFID printer drivers and tag formats through TEKLYNX' DSP (Driver Service Pack) free online service.
