Multi-Protocol Flexibility to Assure Smoother Upgrade to Future Protocols. New RXi Printers/Encoders.

Now you’re free to choose the best tag type for your RFID application with Zebra’s new multi-protocol R110Xi and R170Xi. They’re the first and only smart label printers/encoders to provide fully integrated support for EPC Class 1 and Class 0, Matrics’ Class 0+ (read/write), ISO 18000-06B, and Philips UCODE 1.19.

Enjoy ironclad investment protection, too. Only our RXi models assure compatibility with future protocols -- including EPCglobal’s forthcoming Generation 2 standard -- through the ease of a free, downloadable software upgrade.

Built upon Zebra’s XiIIIPlus printer platform, the R110Xi and R170Xi deliver high performance and mission-critical dependability in demanding environments. You’ll get unmatched flexibility in label size (4- or 6-inch print widths), tag placement, and connectivity options -- including XML-enabled printing for seamless integration into enterprise systems. Plus, only Zebra offers automatic inlay position calibration to save you from time-consuming manual calculations.
