Overview
Radio
‑
frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that helps businesses improve workflow and maximize
process efficiencies. Lexmark provides color laser printer and multifunction product solutions capable of
programming RFID tags and printing labels.
The Lexmark
TM
CS725R or CX725R RFID Laser Solution has the following key features:
•
Prints labels and encode RFID tags on the same device at up to 50 pages a minute.
•
Prints labels in color, which increases visibility and information retention.
•
Uses a wide range of RFID media and supports sizes up to legal (215.9 x 355.6 mm, or 8.5 x 14 in.).
•
Supports Electronic Product Code (EPC) Gen2 (ISO 18000
‑
6C) for ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID tags.
•
Programs tags from 16 to 496 bits of EPC memory in 16
‑
bit increments and from 2 to 64 bytes of user memory.
The solution includes either a Lexmark CS725 printer or CX725 MFP with an RFID
‑
enabled firmware, RFID
option, and media tray. The RFID option is installed below the standard 550
‑
sheet tray and above the media
tray.

When a print job with RFID command is sent to the printer, the printer performs the following steps:
1
The printer draws the RFID media from the media tray.
2
The RFID option encodes the data in the RFID tag, and then it immediately reads the RFID tag to check if
encoding is successful.
3
The form is printed on the RFID media.
