Claim:
A system comprising a label equipped with a radiofrequency system comprising an antenna and a chip connected together, in combination with a device comprising an optical reader for printed codes capable of transforming information from a code printed on said label into digital data, a radiofrequency dialogue unit designed to encode the chip with digital data read from the printed code and to compare the digital data encoded in the chip with the information in the printed code, wherein the device includes a rear face adapted and designed to press against an identification label printer and an opening through which the label passes as soon as it comes out from the printer, wherein said optical reader includes an optical part designed to read the code and a logical part designed to decode the information read and to transform it into digital data, with the proviso that said device can encode the chip of the label with information read from the code of the same label without any interaction with the identification label printer being required.
