The Zebra R170Xi printer is based on the solid XiII Plus-Series platform and includes the RFID encoder to fully support both RFID and bar code label printing in a single unit. Supporting up to six-inch wide labels for on-demand printing with automatic calibration and a front display panel for easy usage and configuration. The R170Xi supports RFID protocols including EPC Gen 1 Class 1, EPC Gen 1 Class 0, EPC Gen 2 Class 1, ISO18000-06, Philips UCODE 1.19, and Matrics 0+. The printer/encoder is upgradeable through firmware so users are able to support new protocols. The Zebra 170Xi features the ThingMagic RFID reader module which offers the flexibility needed to guarantee a simple, cost-free upgrade path to emerging RFID protocols.

Zebra's innovative R170Xi can read, write and print labels carrying embedded ultra-thin RFID transponders. Transponders contain integrated circuits that can be read, programmed and re-programmed using non-contact radio waves. This revolutionary technology enables you to change and update data repeatedly throughout the life of the RFID "smart" label. Because RFID technology utilizes radio waves, smart labels can be read through dirt, paint, and many non-metallic objects. RFID smart labels feature anti-collision technology, which allows you to scan and identify several objects simultaneously such as totes of supplies. The R170Xi is ideal for warehouse/logistics, express parcel delivery, airline baggage tracking, returnable plastic containers/pallets, library book/video check-out, sensitive document tracking, supply chain management (source tagging), ticketing (sports, concerts, ski lifts, etc.), anti-counterfeiting and pharmaceutical applications.
