It does not matter which TAG_EMU you use. All of them will work for now. Maybe... in future D.MO will release new printer / firmware which might block those UIDs... but then we only need to dump a new spool of labels to get a new and valid UID+signature.

The data about the labels (SKU, size, count, ...) is encoded in the standard SLIX2 data blocks. The data about the labels (SKU, size, count, ...) is encoded in the standard SLIX2 data blocks.
**Inside of this data is no dependency to the UID or signature**. This enables a "mix and match" of SLIX2 tag (UID+signature) and the media data used from the printer. Unfortunately the encoded data uses an unknown CRC32 algorithm which limits us to use exisiting dumped label formats only. **Inside of this data is no dependency to the UID or signature**.
