Transmission and Identification Standards

ISO-15693

ISO-15693 is an international standard for 13.56 MHz RFID devices.  As

this is a public standard, tags and integrated circuits may be produced by a

wide variety of manufacturers.  The current standard stipulates that

manufacturers may configure memory in various ways (up to 256 blocks

comprising a block size up to 256 bits (32 bytes)).  The standard also

stipulates that a manufacturer may, or may not, use the recommended

methods of reading and writing to the tag as stipulated in the standard.  For

these reasons, the printer may not be compatible with every manufacturer's

ISO-15693 transponders.  Contact your technical support representative for

the latest list of supported ISO-15693 transponders.

Electronic Product Code™ (EPC™)

The Electronic Product Code™ (EPC™) is a product numbering standard

that can be used to identify a variety of items using RFID technology.  The

EPC format contains 12-bytes (96-bits) of data defining the manufacturer,

product, and serial number.  The EPC can link to an online database,

providing a secure way of sharing product-specific information along the

supply chain.
