FAQ

Does the Tag Writer work only with RUFUS tags, or with any other? The Tag Writer works with any UHF chip, as long as the chip’s read or write memory is not blocked.

When are credits consumed? You need to purchase coding credits only if you want to write blank chips into RUFUS 2.5 encryption (for closed systems). Re-coding those chips will not consume credits. Any coding into RUFUS Free or CUSTOM EPC will not consume credits.

Notes

  • The Tag Writer is Windows-only.

  • Install the drivers before connecting the device to your PC.

  • Once installed, open the Tag Writer software, log in with your credentials, place your chip on the reader, and follow the on-screen steps to encode.
