Printing Standard Labels and
Tags

The Advantage RFID Thermal Printer prints both direct thermal and

thermal transfer labels and tags in a host or network environment. The
Advantage RFID Thermal Printer also has the capability to program

and read RFID tags placed within special media as well as print on
certain areas of that media.

Sources for printed label and tag data include the following:

•  Label software
•  CPL programming
•  Third party applications or interfaces

Using Label Software

A version of NiceLabel labeling software, designed specially for
Cognitive printers, is included on the Companion CD. This software

provides label printing and label design capabilities. Refer to the
NiceLabel help files for information on how to use this product with

your Cognitive printer.

Using CPL Programming

A common method of printing labels is CPL programming. Commands

and data are sent to the printer through a generic text printer driver.

The commands prepare the printer to receive the label, establish print
position and characteristics, and terminate printing operation. Data is

passed as ASCII text and may be printed on the label, encoded in an
RFID device, or both.
