Meaning.
RFID Reader Card detected. SocketScan detects the
reader card and is ready to read RFID tags.
No RFID Reader Card detected. The reader card is either
missing or improperly inserted.
Note:
• If the card is inserted, but SocketScan does not detect it, push the
card gently but firmly all the way into the slot.
• By default, the RFID Reader Card will return the tag ID. The RFID
Setup utility can be used so that the RFID Reader Card returns only
the tag data, or the tag ID plus the tag data.
