2 Barcode Information
The labels come with a label ID (which is a unique identifier – just like a MAC address) and this
label ID as a barcode on the display (and printed on the back of the label).
The label ID consists of 8 hexadecimal digits (0-9 / A-F). The first 2 digits identify the
different label types, shown on the following table:
Caption Label-ID
G1 1.6 red NFC F1xxxxxx
G1 2.2 red NFC A5xxxxxx
G1 2.6 red NFC B6xxxxxx
G1 2.7 B3xxxxxx
G1 2.7 red NFC B5xxxxxx
G1 4.4 C1xxxxxx
