The updates dramatically enhance label design capabilities, expand LABELVIEW support for RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna. applications and greatly extend Pocket LABELVIEW printer support to over 1,000 devices. LABELVIEW - Advanced RFID capabilities LABELVIEW makes it easy to program and print both HF and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 300 MHz to 3 GHz.
