A thermal printer that prints RFID smart labels. RFID printers encode the chip in the RFID inlay at the same time they print bar codes and alphanumeric, human-readable characters. Most RFID printers handle 4" wide labels, while some can support labels up to 6" wide. See RFID, RFID reader and RFID tag.
