Abstract:
Solving the New Technology Requirements for RFID Business Applications:
How Laser Printing Technologies are Adding Value To an Evolving Business
Landscape
Fortune 500 businesses across many different industries are now looking to
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to transform the way they
conduct business. From streamlining supply chain operations, patient safety,
improving production and preventing counterfeiting, to tracking and managing
documents, RFID is changing the business landscape in many ways.
RFID technology brings a “historical” shift to the business workplace. The ability
for RFID to optimize individual transactions, track documents and shipping
items, improve workflows, and eliminate “dark transaction areas” will bring
dramatic improvements to every corner of the business landscape. The
widespread adoption of RFID in both consumer and business markets will drive
greater business volumes which will lead to price reductions and allow
businesses to fulfill customer needs as never before.
This white paper from Lexmark International is intended to help today’s business
executives better understand the dynamically changing nature of RFID solutions,
and how laser printing technologies are quickly becoming a requirement for
enterprise businesses to meet their productivity and efficiency goals as they
adopt RFID into their business operations.
The Changing Output Requirements of RFID-Enabled Business Environments
Fortune 500 businesses across many different industries are now looking to
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to transform the way they
conduct business. From streamlining supply chain operations, patient safety,
improving production and preventing counterfeiting, to tracking and managing
documents, RFID is changing the business landscape in many ways.
For example, Wal-Mart has mandated that its top 100 suppliers implement RFID
tagging and tracking for all products shipped to the retailer. This innovation not
only has changed retail supply chain and product distribution procedures, but
also global acceptance of RFID. With RFID, warehousing inventory levels have
been dramatically reduced, moving instead to a significantly improved model
where goods are immediately shipped from manufacturing to Wal-Mart
distribution centers and then to the retail level.
The media has reported many benefits from these new working relationships
that will dramatically increase RFID adoption across multiple industries. By
increasing the adoption rate, the cost of entry will dramatically decrease,
making it possible for many smaller companies to afford RFID technology and
adopt it for their own business operations.

The RFID growth trend is expected to
continue. Industry experts indicate that
the market is projected to grow at a
compound annual rate of nearly 20%
over the next six years. By 2015, the
RFID market will be valued at
approximately $26 billion.

The Role of Printing in an RFID-Enabled World
The printing function is a critical part of the RFID process. As businesses
implement RFID technology, their printing and output needs immediately change
as well. Many of the labels, forms, and documents used to track shipments in a
multi-tiered supply chain require printers that can output forms with an embedded
RFID tag that has been encoded with manufacturer, product and serial number.
Before RFID, the printing process in a distribution center or shipping warehouse
consisted of using several printers for different types of forms and documents.
For example, RFID tags were printed on a dedicated thermal printer that was used
to print simple barcode and shipping labels. Dot matrix printers were used to print
bills of lading, packing slips, or manifests. But with new technology, the number,
size, and type of forms have changed; many companies are now realizing that
their first-generation printing solutions are no longer a viable solution to meet their
current needs. In an effort to control costs and more carefully manage both time
and resources, RFID-enabled businesses are looking for solutions that can
consolidate the work of multiple printers into a single output device.
In the 1980s, laser printing technology dramatically changed office productivity by
bringing high resolution graphic capabilities such as desktop publishing and design,
tasks previously reserved for specialty outsourced providers, to the desktop. This
same technology is now bringing new areas of efficiency, productivity, and cost
reduction to the RFID solution arena. Laser printers can not only handle the multiple
document requirements of supply chain operations, but can also perform RFID tag
encoding and print forms with a high-resolution corporate logo or graphic image all
within one device. This level of efficiency means that a single printing device can
now perform the same duties that previously required several printers.
About RFID
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency IDentification. The acronym refers to a small
electronic device that consists of an integrated chip and an antenna; one
example is as shown below in Figure 2.

As the number, size, and type of forms
have changed as a result of RFID
implementations, many companies are
now realizing that their conventional
printing solutions are no longer able to
meet their needs.

An RFID tag serves a similar purpose as a bar code on a product package, or a
magnetic strip on the back of a credit or ATM card: it provides a unique identifier
for that object. Just as a bar code or magnetic strip must be scanned to get
information, an RFID tag must also be scanned to retrieve the identifying
information on the box or item to which it is attached.
One significant advantage of RFID tags over bar codes is RFID tags do not
require line of sight to be read and do not require manual scanning. Unlike store
checkout scanners that require a barcode be swiped directly across the top of a
scanner, or a credit/ATM card that must be swiped through a special reader, an
RFID-enabled device uses passive RFID tags that can be read from up to 30 feet
away by simply walking past a scanner.
Another important advantage is that RFID tags do not need be read individually.
For example, if a grocery store used RFID tags on all its products, shoppers
could put their groceries in a bag, set the bag on the scanner, and the RFID
scanner could query all the RFID tags simultaneously, immediately total the
purchase, and provide a list of all the items in the bag.
How RFID Works
A Radio-Frequency Identification system (RFID) has three component parts:
• A transponder - the RFID tag - that has been programmed with
information
• A reader or interrogator which is connected to an antenna that
sends and receives the information
• A Data System such as a Warehouse Management System (WMS)
or Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP)
When an RFID tag passes through an electromagnetic field, the tag is powered
on and transmits its information to the interrogator. The information is
automatically sent into the Data System.

One significant advantage of RFID tags
over bar codes is RFID tags do not
require line of sight to be read and do
not require manual scanning.
RFID tags may be of one of two types: active or passive. Active RFID tags have
their own power source. The advantage of active tags is that they act like
beacons, broadcasting their information. The reader can be much farther away
and still pick up the signal. However, these devices have limited life spans
(though some are built to have up to a 10-year life). They are also very expensive.
Passive RFID tags do not have batteries, can be much smaller, and have a
virtually unlimited life span. They also cost substantially less to manufacture and
can be reprogrammed. The majority of the RFID tags in use today are of the
passive variety. Active RFID tag technology is still evolving and its widespread
availability is expected to increase over the next several years.
RFID Advantages
There are a variety of circumstances in which RFID tags can be easily read
where line of sight is not available. Barcodes or other optically-read technologies
under these circumstances would be useless. The advantages of RFID tags in
these situations include:
• Embedded Tagging - The tag need not be on the surface of the object
(with the added benefit that the tag is therefore not subject to wear).
• Rapid Scanning - The read time is typically less than 100 milliseconds.
• Group Scanning - Large numbers of tags can be read at once rather
than item by item, making this technology highly suitable for shipping,
warehouse or manufacturing operations.
• Varied Environments - Tags can be read under water.

at once rather than item by item,
making this technology highly
suitable for shipping, warehouse or
manufacturing operations.
RFID Applications in Business and Industry
As RFID technology continues to evolve, the application of the technology is
enabling entirely new ways of conducting business. The examples below show
how RFID is being implemented in a variety of industries and demonstrates the
widespread use of the technology. In each instance, different types and sizes of
RFID-tagged forms are being employed.
RFID Application Examples:
• Shipping & Tracking – RFID technology has replaced the traditional
warehouse by turning trucks into rolling warehouses. Replacement
products at the manufacturing level are shipped directly to the retailer.
When the goods arrive, an entire palette of products can be immediately
scanned as it is unloaded from the trailer using RFID technology. In a
matter of seconds, each item’s manufacturer, product and serial number
are sent to the retailer’s inventory system along with the item's location
and time of delivery.
• Manufacturing – Automotive parts in a production line are RFID-tagged
and scanned as they pass by strategically-placed RFID interrogators on
the production line. These scanners can identify the stage of the work in
process (WIP) very quickly, report any problems, and tell if the process is
on schedule. The part numbers are also tracked to ensure “just-in-time”
production efficiencies from the part vendors in the supply chain. With
this real-time information the parts suppliers can tailor their shipments to
meet the automobile manufacturer’s production goals.
• Document Tracking – Critical documents such as medical, legal, or
classified government information can be embedded with an RFID tag
so the document can be tracked every time it is moved. If the document
passes through an RFID portal, the person will be prompted for
identification, such as the user’s name and ID, which is recorded. When
a building is equipped with interrogators, the document’s location can be
tracked. If an RFID-enabled document is reported missing, a complete
history of all its users can be recalled along with specific dates and all
the locations where the document has been.
• Part Usage History – The sale of heavy assets (such as construction
equipment) with re-manufactured parts is a less expensive alternative to
acquiring new equipment. The parts used in remanufactured assets can
be affixed with RFID tags, enabling their complete history to be tracked.
whi

aper

If an RFID-enabled document is
reported missing, a complete history
of all its users can be recalled along
with dates and all the locations
where the document has been.
Each time work is performed on a remanufactured part, a record is made
of the location and maintenance date. This information can be used to
monitor the life cycle of the part, and can help determine when it might
be time to replace it.
• Hospital Patient Tracking – An RFID-enabled wristband for incoming
hospital patients can contain personal information, medical history and
prescribed medications, information which can be accessible and used
throughout the patient's stay in the facility. Such patient monitoring and
tracking ensures that the patient is sent to the correct operating or
recovery room, and that the appropriate medications and treatments are
being administered. As a result, the number of deaths and injuries due to
mistaken IDs are minimized, with the added benefit of fewer malpractice
suits and lower costs for the hospital.
• Inventory Management – In many industries, the process of taking
inventory can be challenging, especially if gaining access to the asset is
difficult. RFID tagging will greatly improve the process of taking
inventory. The employee will simply walk through the inventory area with
a handheld RFID scanner that reads the serial numbers being broadcast
by the RFID tags on the inventoried items. With RFID, the process of
taking inventory takes a fraction of the time it used to require using
conventional methods and is considerably more accurate.
• Product Recalls – RFID technology provides manufacturers and retailers
with highly detailed product information such as the specific manufacturing
plant where a product was produced, the lot number, item number, color,
flavor, size, model, version, etc. When a product recall is announced, the RFID
information can facilitate the tracking and specific identification of the
remaining products on the retail shelves. Rather than pulling all of the
manufacturers’ products off the shelf, RFID not only speeds up the process
of removing the affected items from the distribution channel, but also allows
retailers to safely continue selling non-recalled versions of the
manufacturer’s products that remain in their inventory.
• Theft – Consumers buying a product from a retailer at a discount and
returning it to another retailer for a higher price can mean a loss of millions
of dollars for retailers. If the product is properly tagged, the retailer will be
able to tell if the return was originally purchased from their store and for
how much. RFID will be a significant step toward eliminating this problem.

These are just a few examples that demonstrate the broad application of RFID
and how widespread the use of the technology has become. As RFID technology
flourishes and expands into entirely new areas, businesses need to evolve their
output strategies to keep pace. In order to gain efficiencies and lower
operational costs, corporations investing in RFID must also reassess their
printing solutions.
In each of the examples cited, there are different types of forms, labels, stickers,
packing slips, manifests, and documents that must be printed. Given the range
of printing requirements associated with RFID document output, traditional
printing technologies cannot provide the capability or flexibility to handle the
scope of these printing demands effectively or efficiently.
The Challenges with Existing RFID Printing Solutions
The output generated in an RFID-enabled environment has to date been printed
on a thermal printer. This type of printer has several disadvantages when it
comes to printing all the documents, labels, and forms required to run a
business that has invested in this technology. These issues include:
• Limited Flexibility – A high volume shipping department where each
box or container must have a packing slip, and/or an RFID-encoded
shipping label and/or other forms such as bills of lading or manifests,
requires sophisticated printing functions that a thermal printer can’t
easily handle. The thermal printer is a single use device and does a great
job printing an RFID label this way, but will have a difficult time with
other documents. The high cost and intangible ROI cycle associated with
deploying multiple thermal printers around the production area increases
the overall cost of doing business.
• Higher Maintenance Costs – In a large operation such as a distribution
center that has many printers designated for individual printing tasks,
there is a corresponding cost associated with maintaining the printers.
These costs include the procurement of supplies as well as service
contracts for the required regular maintenance schedules. Because each
printer has a singular focus, such as printing a packing slip, if any of the
printers go down, the entire production process comes to a halt until the
printer can be repaired or replaced. This “down time” adds cost; and the
resulting dip in productivity can add up to significant losses.

The high cost and intangible ROI
cycle associated with deploying
multiple thermal printers increases
the overall cost of doing business.
• Difficulty with Wide Formats – Thermal printers were originally
designed to print on small formats such as shipping labels and pick
tickets. For larger-size documents, such as 8.5 x 11 or 8 x 14 inch output,
thermal media would be cost prohibitive. The thermal printer is dedicated
to a single printing task, and is unable to work with multiple forms without
the time-consuming manual process of changing the media.
• Proprietary Data Streams – Some thermal printers may use complex
proprietary printing languages that make the integration of enterprise
business information from an ERP system or database difficult and time
consuming. When business needs change and warrant the integration of
new information on the media, the task of modifying the proprietary
printing languages may result in long development cycles and
disruptions in business processes. In many instances, the unique data
stream may have been developed several years ago and the programmer
who originally wrote the code may have left the company or be otherwise
unavailable to perform the required updates or modifications.
• Output Quality – Since thermal printers may print in lower resolutions,
203-305 dpi (dots per inch), this lower quality output can cause
problems when it comes to reading bar codes. If there is a problem with
the print head, the bar codes can also be unreadable. Logos or other
graphic designs can be hard to read using low dpi. In addition, since
thermal transfer printers use ribbons to transfer the image to the label,
the labels they create can possibly wear poorly and may be vulnerable to
smearing and distortion when exposed to inclement weather or to the
wear and tear of the shipping and delivery cycle. Direct thermal labels
may also fade when exposed to ultra violet rays and/or heat.
These limitations point to the need for a new printing solution to support RFID
environments. Just as in the past laser printers became the solution for similar
process and productivity problems in the office arena, laser printers now have
come to the rescue again to streamline RFID-enabled environments in industries
that are incorporating RFID technology.w

Just as in the past laser printers
became the solution for similar
process and productivity problems
in the office arena, they now have
come to the rescue again to
streamline RFID-enabled
environments in industries that are
incorporating RFID technology.
The Benefits of Laser Printing in an RFID-Enabled Environment
The benefits of laser printers — higher productivity, device consolidation, forms
management, better print quality, lower costs, and networking capabilities — are
now being applied to the RFID-enabled business environment. The specific
benefits that RFID-supported laser printing delivers to today’s businesses include:
• Device Consolidation – With the built-in features of network capability
and multiple output trays, laser printers in an RFID-enabled environment
allow several work areas to share one single printer. For example, in a
warehouse operation with several shipping lanes, multiple employees
can share a common printer for all their form and label needs.
Conducting all tasks using one printer leads to fewer maintenance
contracts, lower maintenance and supply costs, and a higher ROI.
• Forms Management – With the multiple input trays available on a laser
printer, one device can accommodate several types of forms, labels, and
RFID tag embedded media. Lexmark offers a laser printer that has a built-
in RFID tag encoder which can encode shipping information onto the
Lexmark RFID tags as part of the printing process. With this new
capability, a laser RFID printer can program, verify and print embedded
RFID media, as well as all the other documents required to ship a product.
(See printer Figure 4 below.) This makes the laser a true multi-use printer.

device can accommodate 8.5” x 11”,
or 8.5” x 14” documents, and RFID-

• Ease of Use – Lexmark’s electronic forms package can design and store
various form layouts in the printer. This allows businesses to make
design changes to forms that are stored online, for example, modifying a
field on a packing slip or including a corporate logo on a shipping label.
The software can also work with a variety of label and document sizes
from small to legal size, easily accommodating multiple bar codes and
RFID-tagged media.
• Standard Printer Languages – Rather than work with a proprietary
printer language that is hard to modify and integrate, most laser printers
work with standard printer languages such as PCL, PostScript™ or plain
ASCII that allow easy data integration with enterprise applications,
databases, and business information. Using the standard printer languages
allows Lexmark's forms software to easily modify and design new forms
that are then mapped to the data stream. These new forms can be stored
on the printer or a server.
• Superior Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) – With a 20-year
history of printer engine advancements and design, laser printers have
demonstrated a proven ability to meet the challenge of high volume
output with a minimum of problems. This makes laser printers highly
suitable for the rigorous printing demands of a high volume distribution
center or manufacturing production line without risking a significant
amount of downtime.
• Forms Consolidation – Using Lexmark’s forms package, it is easy and
very cost effective to print a shipping label and a packing list on an
integrated label form. This eliminates the ordering and storing of pre-
printed forms.
• Better Graphics Capabilities - Most laser printers today work at 1200
dpi, which is superior output quality over the 305 dpi of a thermal printer.
This provides a higher quality form or label that improves bar code
readability. If a corporate logo or graphic image needs to be included on
the form or label, the higher resolution also projects a more professional
brand image.
• Media – Not only can a Lexmark laser printer print and program the RFID
media, but it is flexible enough to print on several different types of
media. The printer can print on paper, vinyl labels and carbonless paper,
as well as on many other types of media.

Lasers provide the most viable,
efficient and cost-effective manner
possible of using a multi-use printer
within an RFID-enabled enterprise.
These considerable benefits demonstrate why laser printers are having such a
significant impact in supporting and streamlining RFID technology in today’s
rapidly evolving business environment. As the proliferation of RFID deployments
grow, the addition of laser printers enables businesses to accomplish all their
printing needs, including the encoding of RFID media. Lasers provide the most
viable, efficient and cost-effective manner possible of using a multi-use printer
within an RFID-enabled enterprise.
A Look into the Future of RFID Technology
As RFID continues to evolve and flourish across many industries, laser printing
technology will continue to play an important role by increasing workgroup
productivity and driving down the operating costs associated with RFID technology.
But where is the technology going and what does the future of RFID look like?
There are three dynamics taking place in the RFID Industry that will reshape
how the technology will be used that in turn will lead to greater adoption of the
technology: size reductions, lower costs, and innovative applications.
Size Reductions
RFID readers are being reduced by considerable margins. Key manufacturers
such as Intel Corporation® are announcing chipset size reductions of 90%.
These reductions will have a dramatic impact on the cost and the future design
of tags and readers. These innovations translate into wider adoption and a
greater number of RFID applications around the world.
Lower Costs
As more companies adopt RFID technology, additional tag manufacturers will
appear on the scene that will ultimately drive increased competition and
drastically decrease the cost of tags. For example, the cost of an RFID tag has
dropped from over $1.00 less than one year ago to under $.15 today. As the cost
of RFID tags (and their consumables) rapidly decline, the implementation of RFID
becomes more cost effective. As another example, RFID interrogators that used
to cost approximately $2000 are now available in the $700 range.
Innovative Applications
As the printing and encoding of RFID tags improves and the per unit price drops,
new uses for RFID will be developed. One example is called a “Smart Shelf”,
which is the nickname for a designated retail merchandising area that has been
entirely enabled for RFID. The Smart Shelf would incorporate one reader and
several interrogators. The reader could read the tags of any product on the

merchandise shelf. When an item is lifted off the shelf, this information is recorded
and allows the clerk to see there is a missing item that needs replenished. This
will greatly reduce the number of out-of stock issues and increase overall sales.
Concluding Summary
RFID technology brings a “historical” shift to the business workplace. The ability
for RFID to optimize individual transactions, track documents and shipping
items, and improve workflows will bring dramatic improvements to every corner
of the business landscape. The widespread adoption of RFID in both consumer
and business markets will drive greater business volumes which will lead to
price reductions and allow businesses to fulfill customer needs as never before.
Unfortunately, conventional printing technologies that are supporting existing RFID
implementations have held businesses back from fully realizing the fulfillment of
the technology. RFID laser printing brings the same level of revolutionary change
to the RFID arena that conventional laser printers brought to the office
environment in the 1980s. As a greater number of RFID tags find their way into
manufacturing, retail or other industry environments, RFID-enabled laser printers
will be essential in facilitating the productivity vision of RFID in the workplace.
In addition, with new levels of ease-of-use, more productive capabilities, and
smoother workflow processes, RFID laser printing will make the integration of
RFID technology into the business workplace much more viable. As RFID-
supported laser printing becomes more pervasive across the enterprise, the
technology will be an essential element in propelling RFID solutions forward.
Incorporating laser printing technology into the RFID process further enables the
fulfillment of RFID, by providing the following benefits:
• Improved Efficiencies – A single laser printer can reduce the number of
devices and forms required to produce business documentation. With
multiple-use drawers that can house a variety of forms, labels and
documents, both manufacturers and retailers will be able to accomplish all
of their tagging, labeling, and forms management from one printing device.
• Greater Capabilities – RFID laser printing means businesses can make
design changes to an existing packing slip or manifest both quickly and
easily without incurring any disruption to the sales, manufacturing, or
distribution process. In addition, the high resolution capability associated
with laser technology generates more professional-looking RFID
documents across a wider variety of business applications.

RFID laser printing technology brings
the same level of revolutionary
change to the RFID arena that
conventional laser printers brought to
the office environment in the 1980s.
• Device Consolidation – Consolidation enables a greater variety of RFID
printing tasks to be accomplished on fewer devices, thereby allowing a
greater number of users to have access to the device to fulfill all their
form, label, document printing, and RFID tag encoding needs.
• Lower Cost of Operation – RFID laser printing provides lower
acquisition, supplies, materials, and maintenance costs, lowering the
total cost of business operations.
