The Zebra R2844-Z printer/encoder is a compact RFID printing solution that can encode smart labels at the point of use. It's designed for printing and encoding smart media such as RFID wristbands and smart labels, and it meets the needs of applications requiring greater processing speed and more connectivity choices (e.g., standard serial, parallel, and USB ports and optional internal Ethernet). The Zebra R2844Z also offers the widest range of supported 13.56 MHz HF RFID transponders.

R22844-Z is ideal for low-volume desktop applications:

- Express parcel delivery
- Library book/video check-out
- Sensitive document tracking
- Supply chain management (source tagging)
- Ticketing at sports events, concerts, etc.
- Pharmaceuticals
