UHF RFID Printing and Encoding

The key difference between the XD5-40IItR and a conventional desktop barcode printer is its integrated UHF RFID capability.

A compatible RFID label normally combines:

Printable Label Surface

RFID Inlay

RFID Chip

The XD5-40IItR can print visible information on the label while encoding compatible data into the RFID chip.

A typical workflow may therefore be:

Business / RFID Application

↓

XD5-40IItR

↓

Print Barcode + Text + Human-Readable Information

↓

Encode UHF RFID Chip

↓

RFID-Enabled Label or Tag

This can support applications where items need both conventional visual identification and RFID-based electronic identification.

EPC Gen2 and ISO 18000-6C

BIXOLON specifies support for:

ISO 18000-6C

and

EPC Class 1 Gen2

for the XD5-40IItR.

These standards are widely associated with UHF RFID item-identification applications.

However, standards support does not mean that every RFID label or inlay will automatically work correctly.

RFID media still needs to be tested against the printer and application.

Regional RFID Frequency

RFID frequency is especially important when purchasing this printer.

BIXOLON documents the XD5-40IItR platform across approximately 860–960 MHz, with specific regional versions including:

Korea: approximately 917–923.5 MHz
USA/FCC: approximately 902–928 MHz
Europe/CE: approximately 865–868 MHz

BIXOLON's model-classification documentation also identifies separate regional RFID designations.

For UAE deployment, the exact regional SKU and permitted RFID configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

Do not purchase an RFID printer solely because the base model name is XD5-40IItR.

RFID Inlay Compatibility

RFID labels contain an antenna and chip positioned within the label construction.

Before purchasing RFID media, verify:

RFID chip
Inlay manufacturer/model
Antenna dimensions
Inlay position
Label dimensions
Label pitch
Encoding position
Required EPC data
Surface material
Adhesive
Intended item or packaging

BIXOLON states that the XD5-40IItR supports UHF RFID printing and encoding with a minimum encoding inlay pitch of approximately 16 mm / 0.6 inch.

This does not mean every RFID inlay with that pitch is automatically compatible.

Testing actual media before purchasing large quantities is advisable.

203 dpi Label Printing

The XD5-40IItR provides 203 dpi resolution.

This can be appropriate for many general-purpose applications involving:

Shipping labels
Product labels
Inventory labels
Asset labels
RFID labels
Carton identification
Pallet identification
Barcode labels
Retail labels
Logistics labels

For applications involving very small text, compact labels, fine graphics or particularly dense barcodes, the separate XD5-43IItR 300 dpi model may deserve consideration.

Higher resolution is not automatically necessary for normal RFID labeling.

Up to 8 ips Printing

BIXOLON specifies maximum printing speed of:

8 inches per second

or approximately:

203 mm/sec

for the XD5-40IItR.

Actual operating speed can depend on:

RFID encoding
Label design
Print density
Media
Ribbon
RFID inlay
Application
Communication interface
Print quality requirements

RFID encoding workloads should therefore not be evaluated only by the printer's maximum mechanical print-speed figure.

Thermal Transfer and Direct Thermal Printing

The XD5-40IItR supports both:

Thermal Transfer

and

Direct Thermal

printing.

For thermal transfer printing, a compatible ribbon is used to transfer the printed image onto the label.

Depending on the media and application, ribbon types may include:

Wax
Wax/Resin
Resin

Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive media without a ribbon.

The correct printing method should be selected according to label material, required durability and intended use.

74 m and 300 m Ribbon Support

BIXOLON designed the XD5-40II platform to accommodate both:

74 metre ribbons
300 metre ribbons

with support for applicable 1/2-inch and 1-inch ribbon cores.

Before ordering ribbons, verify:

Ribbon width
Ribbon length
Core size
Winding direction
Ribbon formulation
Label material
Print durability requirement

A ribbon being physically installable does not automatically make it chemically compatible with the selected label stock.

LCD Display

The RFID configuration includes an LCD display to assist with printer setup and operation.

This can be useful when configuring:

Media
RFID settings
Connectivity
Printer status
Operational settings

BIXOLON specifically positions the LCD as part of the XD5-40IItR's easier setup and management design.

Connectivity

Standard interfaces on the RFID model include:

USB
USB Host
Serial
Ethernet

Optional wireless configurations can add:

Bluetooth
WLAN

The exact interfaces should be checked against the full SKU being quoted.

Do not assume Bluetooth or Wi-Fi is included simply because those interfaces are supported by the product family.

RFID Applications – Retail

The XD5-40IItR may be considered for retail RFID workflows such as:

Item-level identification
Apparel tagging
Inventory identification
Stock counting workflows
Product tracking
Shelf-management applications
Returns processing
Distribution-to-store labeling

RFID functionality depends on the complete system, including compatible labels, readers, antennas and software.

The printer alone does not provide an inventory-management system.

RFID Applications – Transportation and Logistics

Possible logistics applications include:

Carton identification
Parcel labeling
Warehouse inventory
Distribution labels
Shipping labels
Pallet identification
Receiving workflows
Dispatch workflows
Asset movement
Track-and-trace applications

A label can potentially contain printed text and barcode information alongside an encoded UHF RFID identifier.

This allows conventional barcode and RFID workflows to coexist where the system has been designed accordingly.

RFID Applications – Warehousing

Warehouses may consider the XD5-40IItR where UHF RFID labels are required for:

Inventory identification
Bin or location identification
Cartons
Assets
Returnable containers
Internal logistics
Goods receiving
Dispatch
Stock movement

Before deployment, verify how the RFID label will be read after printing.

A complete RFID workflow may also require:

RFID Printer

RFID Labels

Fixed or Handheld RFID Reader

Antennas where applicable

RFID Software / WMS / ERP Integration

RFID Applications – Healthcare

BIXOLON identifies healthcare among the applications for its XD5-40IItR RFID printer.

Potential use cases may include appropriately designed:

Medical-delivery identification
Asset identification
Inventory labeling
Supply tracking
Healthcare logistics

Healthcare deployments can have specific regulatory, privacy, material and workflow requirements.

The printer should therefore not be presented as automatically suitable for patient identification, medication labeling or other regulated healthcare applications without validating the complete solution.

RFID Applications – Libraries

BIXOLON specifically identifies library applications including:

Book identification
Shelf management
Security-related workflows

for the XD5-40IItR.

The actual library RFID standard, tag frequency, chip, software and reader infrastructure must be checked.

Not every library RFID environment necessarily uses the same RFID technology.

RFID Applications – Asset Identification

Organizations may also consider UHF RFID labels for identifying:

IT equipment
Tools
Equipment
Returnable assets
Containers
Office assets
Warehouse assets
Industrial equipment

Whether RFID is appropriate depends on the asset material and reading environment.

RFID performance can be affected by metal, liquids and other surrounding materials, so the tag itself should be selected according to the object being identified.

RFID Applications – Manufacturing

Possible manufacturing uses include:

Work-in-process identification
Component tracking
Finished-goods labeling
Carton identification
Inventory movement
Production logistics
Returnable-container tracking

The XD5-40IItR can provide the printing and encoding stage, but manufacturing integration with MES, ERP, WMS or other systems requires separate software and system design.

Barcode + RFID on One Label

One useful characteristic of an RFID label is the ability to retain conventional visual identification.

A label can potentially contain:

Product Description

Human-Readable Number

1D Barcode

2D Code

Encoded RFID Data

This can provide more than one identification method.

For example, if an RFID workflow is unavailable at a particular stage, the printed barcode may still support conventional scanning where the system has been designed for it.

Label Design Software

BIXOLON lists compatibility with its label software ecosystem including:

Label Artist™ Web
Label Artist™ Mobile
Label Artist-II™

and compatibility with Seagull Scientific BarTender®.

The required software edition and RFID encoding functionality should be verified before deployment.

Software licensing should not be assumed to be included with the printer unless explicitly stated.

Programming Languages

The XD5-40IItR supports multiple printer programming environments.

BIXOLON identifies languages including:

SLCS
BPL-Z™
BPL-E™
Smart Switch

and its XI BASIC programming interpreter for supported standalone label-printing workflows.

Compatibility should be tested with the customer's existing label application before replacing another printer solely on the basis of command-language support.

Printer Management

BIXOLON provides management tools including:

XPM™
XCM™

for applicable printer-management and connectivity workflows.

These tools may assist organizations managing multiple compatible BIXOLON printers.

Exact management functionality depends on network configuration, software version and deployment environment.

Optional Peeler

A field-installable peeler is available for applicable XD5-40II configurations.

A peeler separates the printed label from its backing liner to support workflows where operators immediately apply each label.

Peeler requirements should be specified when requesting a quotation.

Optional Auto Cutter

A field-installable automatic cutter is also available.

This may be useful for appropriate tag or media applications where material needs to be separated automatically after printing.

The cutter should only be used with media approved for that configuration.

Purpose of Use

The BIXOLON XD5-40IItR is intended for organizations that need to create printed and encoded UHF RFID labels using a compact desktop printer.

A typical workflow may be:

ERP / WMS / RFID Application

↓

BIXOLON XD5-40IItR

↓

Print Human-Readable Information

Print Barcode / QR Code

Encode UHF RFID Chip

↓

Apply RFID Label to Item / Carton / Asset
