Zebra R170Xi RFID Label Printer and Encoder

The Zebra R170Xi RFID printer and encoder is designed for six-inch labels, and offers an unprecedented level of on-demand printing flexibility in tag placement as well as unique features. The Zebra R170Xi4 RFID printer includes features such as XML to allow for seamless integration into enterprise systems with automatic calibration, flexible inlay positioning, multiple power levels, statistics tracking, easier RFID programming and detailed information presented through the front panel display. The Zebra R170Xi RFID printer features the ThingMagic RFID reader module which offers the flexibility needed to guarantee a simple, cost-free upgrade path to emerging RFID protocols.

The Zebra R170Xi RFID printer supports currently available protocols, including EPC Gen 1 Class 1, EPC Gen 1 Class 0, EPC Gen 2 Class 1, Matrics 0+, ISO18000-06, and Philips UCODE 1.19. Because the printer/encoder is firmware upgradeable to support new protocols, users are assured that they can seamlessly upgrade to future RFID protocols as needed.
