RFiD or "Smart Labels"
RFiD is Radio Frequency IDentification.
It is an automatic 'radio tagging' identification technology whereby digital data encoded
in an RFiD tag or “smart label” is captured by a reader using radio
waves. Put simply, RFiD is similar to barcode technology but uses radio
waves to capture data from labels (tags), rather than optically scanning the bar
codes on a label. An RFiD scanner does not require the tag or label to be seen to
be able to read its stored data, but of course a label may be printed with a barcode and other text.
An RFiD printer programs the RFiD chip in a label and also prints text and/or
barcodes on the label.

RFID Frequencies
Two different frequencies are available for smart labels - ISO 18000-3 High Frequency (HF
or 13.56 MHz) or ISO 18000-6 Ultra High Frequency (UHF ISO or Gen2). Typically
hardware suitable for use with one frequency will not work with the other.
RFID Label Printers
RFID label printers print a label with text and (optionally) barcodes. At the same
time as printing, the RFID chip in each label is programmed. High Frequency (HF
or 13.56 MHz) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF ISO or Gen2) tags can be supported,
depending upon model.

RFID Document Tray Reader
The Document Tray Reader (shown green below)
is a RFID read / write device designed specifically as a reader for HF StackTags.
Unlike all other RFID tags, StackTags can be stacked and will function with zero
separation between tags.
The in or out tray reader and will read and write to StackTags located anywhere
within the shrouded volume.
The Document Tray Reader is designed to work as a stand alone peripheral device,
communicating with a host (such as a normal PC) via USB and Ethernet
connections and operates on a 12V DC power supply. The unit measures 38 cm D x 9
cm H x 28 cm W and weighs 1 kg without the power supply.
Able to read 60 documents with 1mm separation between documents
Compatible with requirements of ISO 18000-3 MODE 2
RFID Desktop Reader
The Desktop Reader is an RFID read-write device designed specifically for use
in embedded or desktop environments. The reader a stand-alone peripheral device
communicating with a host PC via USB or Ethernet connections.
The Desktop Reader will read and write information to multiple StackTags with
zero separation between tags, or individual ItemTags.
Compatible with ISO 18000-3 Mode 2, Operating
Frequency 13.56 MHz (HF).
RFID Handheld Reader
Mobile RFID reader for use with Intermec 700 mobile computer.
Reads and writes data to 13.56 MHz ISO18000 tags.
RFID Tunnel Reader
A tunnel reader capable of reading all smart labels passing through it,
with zero separation between tags.
Reads HF 13.56 MHz ISO18000-3 tags.
Alliance PaperChase Records
Management software can use RFID
tags ("smart labels") instead of or as well as barcode labels for records management, file
tracking and archiving.
