High-Frequency RFID for High-Volume Applications with New R110Xi HF Printer/Encoder

If you’d like to improve your business with accurate, efficient asset tracking…and you have a high-volume, harsh, or mission-critical labeling environment…and you don’t need to meet RFID compliance mandates -- our new high-performance R110Xi HF printer/encoder for high-frequency (13.56 MHz) RFID smart labels could be the perfect solution for you.

With HF smart labels generated by the rugged and reliable R110Xi HF, you can track:

• Manufacturing work in process
• Library books, DVDs, and documents
• Life-sciences laboratory test tubes
• Transit and entertainment tickets
• Field-service repair time

The R110Xi HF offers the widest HF protocol support of any printer/encoder on the market, and allows free upgrades to new protocols as they emerge. Plus, you can easily integrate it with your current systems and Zebra® bar code printers.

For low-volume HF labeling applications, look to our space-saving, desktop R2844-Z™ printer/encoder, while our R110Xi™ or R170Xi™ UHF printer/encoder is your best choice for mandate compliance. Ask your Zebra authorized reseller for help in deciding which RFID technology is right for you, or call +1 800 423 0442. Find details on all our RFID printer/encoders here.

Put Printing Productivity on Wheels with Help of New Print Server

Now, add the freedom of wireless mobility to Zebra® stationary printers: Just plug them into our new, multi-port ZebraNet® PS4000™ wireless print server.

Connect up to four Zebra bar code printers, Zebra RFID printer/encoders, or non-Zebra USB 2.0 devices such as handhelds, laptops, or scanners with your 802.11b/g network via this wireless print server’s four USB ports.

Then, pop this modular printing solution on a cart so your workforce can print on the right media, right where it’s needed, without changing rolls -- saving steps and time and reducing labeling errors compared to centralized printing.

A cart-based printing solution using a powered cart, or a non-powered cart with Zebra’s LA-24 battery pack, is a great productivity booster for:

• Retail labeling (markdowns, inventory, pricing, inter-store transfers).
• Warehouse/distribution labeling (shipping, item, shelf, RFID pallet).
• And more!

Or, if you need to perform multiple printing tasks in a tight space, cut the cord. The PS4000 eliminates hardwiring hassles and bulky network cables so you can place a modular, multi-printer solution on any counter.

In either case, swap printers and devices as your needs change!

Ask your Zebra authorized reseller to assemble a printing solution based on the PS4000 to fit your needs, or call Zebra at +1 800 423 0442. For more about the ZebraNet PS4000, click here.

Note: Zebra does not provide technical support for non-Zebra devices connected to the ZebraNet PS4000.
