EPC Generation 2 tags Printer offer advantages over other tag types. The tag identification (TID) memory in a Generation 2 tag includes the chip manufacturer and model number information, which can be used to identify which optional features are present on the tag. These optional features include those for data content and security. Gen 2 tags typically have a 96-bit EPC identifier, which is different Radio Regulatory from the 64-bit identifiers common in early EPC tags. The 96-bit Information Appendices EPC code links to an online database, providing a secure way of sharing product-specific information along the supply chain. Gen 2 tags also support much larger data structures. The size of user memory available (if any) varies by the model and manufac- turer of the tag. Print quality will be reduced when attempting to print over the transponder portion of an RFID label. It is recommended that RFID label layouts should not allow printing over the Index RFID transponder portion of a label. 31
