GETTING STARTED

Your Monarch9855RFIDMP (Radio Frequency Identification

Multi-Protocol) printer has been engineered to program (encode) an RFID

label (commonly called “RFID tags”) before the label’s format is printed.

RFID tags contain an embedded RFID inlay (chip and antenna).

You can also print text, graphics, and bar codes on thermal transfer (ribbon)

and thermal direct labels or tags. The printer prints labels continuously (in

one strip) or on-demand (one label at a time). Linerless supplies are not

currently supported. The RFID printer is also capable of printing standard

(non-RFID) supplies.

The HF (High Frequency) RFID printer supports multi-protocol encoding,

including ISO15693 and I•CODE® UID products.

Note: Information in this document supercedes information in previous

versions. Check our Web site (www.paxar.com) for the latest

documentation and release information.

Review the terms in the Glossary before you continue.

This chapter includes information about

♦ unpacking the printer

♦ connecting the power cord

♦ connecting the communication cable

♦ using the printer's control panel.
