Creating Gen2 RFID Data
The RFID printer supports Gen2 data, which contains these fields:
♦ EPC Data
The printer accepts EPC data following the guidelines in the EPCglobal
 Tag
Data Standards Specification, which conforms to the EPC Radio-Frequency
Identity Protocols Class 1 Generation 2 UHF RFID Protocol for Communications
at 860-960MHz Standards (RFID Air Interface protocol). Refer to the EPC
Specification to create valid EPC data.
♦ User
Memory
Many different RFID supplies (tags) are available and the amount of
programmable user memory varies with the chip embedded in the tag.
Depending on your tag type, all memory fields may not be available. Refer to the
Monarch® RFID Printer Setup Utility
(http://www.servisource1.com/prnutil/rfidsetup/
) for details about the available
user memory for each chip.
♦ Access
Password
Controls when new data can be written to a field.
♦ Kill
Password
Sets a tag up to be inoperable.
♦ Lock
Code
Contains the locking method for each field. There are four locking methods:
Value EPC Lock Description
0
No lock
(unsecure)
The selected memory fields (EPC, user memory,
access password and kill password) are readable and
writable. The tag can be programmed multiple times.
1
Permalock
(permanently
unsecure)
Permanently locked in a writable state. The tag can
be programmed multiple times.
User memory and kill password are also readable in
this state.
2
Password lock
(secure)
Requires the access password to rewrite the selected
memory fields. The tag can be programmed multiple
times with the password.
EPC and user memory are writable with password
and readable.
Access password is never readable.
Kill password is only writable with password.
3
Permalock and
Password lock
(permanently
locked)
Never rewritable, but always readable. The tag can
never be rewritten, once locked.
EPC and user memory are never rewritable, but are
readable.
Access password and kill password are never
readable or rewritable.
Note: The EPC field is always readable, no matter what locking method is assigned.
