How to write RFID tags using zebra printer

I'm developing WPF Kiosk application. My client request to use RFID tags for an Inventory system. As per requirement first we should print RFID tags, then stick into products before moving them into store. We're using IMPINJ reader for product consume which is working fine for reading/writing RFID tags.

How can we write RFID tags that uses the RFID printer(Printer Model: ZT410)? If I can write tags through printer, will I be able to read through IMPINJ reader?

Solution

  • We are currently programming RFID tags from a WPF application, using a Zebra ZD500R RFID printer.

    Thoses programmed tags are then read by some other RFID readers (Impinj and Caen devices).

    To write your RFID tags, you will have to control the Zebra printer by sending it ZPL commands. Have a look on the Zebra Programming Guides, you will have there description of all the commands you need.

    The tags updated by the Zebra will be readable by any other RFID reader.
