The first of the Generation 2 RFID printers and labels for Europe will be presented by Paxar at Labelexpo Europe 2005.

The first of the Generation 2 RFID printers and labels for Europe will be presented by Paxar at Labelexpo Europe 2005.

The Generation 2 (Gen2) protocol marks an improvement in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for contactless labelling via radio signals, said Paxar.

The UHF Electronic Product Code (EPC) Generation 2 (Gen2) stands for faster read rates, denser data capabilities, improved anti-collision algorithms and greater security for RFID technology.

Paxar said that its 9855 RFID ME label printer now reads and encodes transponders of the new standard for the European market.

The electronic Monarch brand printer from Paxar also uses the EPC Class 1 96 bit, UCode, Impinj 0+ and optionally Matrics 0+ protocols.

The system complies with the 866 megahertz frequency range.

The company added that the 9855 RFID ME replaces the 9855 RFID that in April 2004 was the first RFID printer to go in to series production.

Like the predecessor model, the 9855 RFID ME tests and encodes the transponder in one step and prints the adhesive label with its integrated chip and antenna.

The printer can also be used as a regular label printer without RFID functions.

All customers currently using the previous model 9855 RFID printers receive free upgrades from Paxar.

In addition to the printer, Gen2 labels can also be ordered.

Special formats from Paxar, such as the one-inch (2.54 cm) RFID label and the RFID Spacetag for metals and liquids are all available and compliant to Gen2 specifications.

Paxar manufactures RFID printers and labels and offers system integrations including set up and operation of RFID labelling and identification systems.

The group is an accredited member of EPCglobal, the global standardisation agency for RFID.
