Near Field Communications

NFC/HF RFID is a short-range wireless connectivity technology standard that enables a secure transaction between devices when they are within proximity of one another.
The technology is based on ISO/IEC 14443 type A and B (proximity), ISO/IEC 15693 (vicinity), and FeliCa standards, using the HF 13.56 MHz unlicensed band.
A Mobility DNA Enterprise License is required to pair and connect Zebra ring scanners.
The device supports the following operating modes:
  • Reader mode
  • Card Emulation mode.
Using NFC, the device can:
  • Read contactless cards, such as contactless tickets, ID cards, and ePassport.
  • Read and write information to contactless cards, such as SmartPosters and tickets, as well as devices with an NFC interface, such as vending machines.
  • Read information from supported medical sensors.
  • Pair with supported Bluetooth devices such as printers (for example, ZQ5x, ZD5x), ring scanners (for example, RS6000), and headsets (for example, HS3100).
  • Exchange data with another NFC device.
  • Emulate contactless cards such as a payment or ticket.
  • Emulate contactless cards such as a payment, ticket, or SmartPoster.
The device's NFC antenna is positioned to read NFC cards placed in the center of the screen.
