Write Tags

"Writing" tags is the process of programming the tags to scan as one of your products. This process is completed using the handheld reader. There are two encoding methods available:

  • Single Tag Encoding is designed for programming one tag at a time and is ideal when you only need to encode a small number of tags.
  • Bulk Encoding is intended for programming multiple loose RFID tags with the same product information. Use this method when you have a larger quantity of unassigned tags that all need to be encoded for the same product, and the tags are isolated from other tags.

Choose the encoding method that best matches the number of tags you need to program and your workflow.

As each tag is programmed successfully it will turn green

Once all tags are programmed successfully a finishing prompt will appear asking

  • One more - to program more quantity of the same Product
  • Another Product - to search for a new Product to program
  • Finish to complete the process and return to the Home screen

Bulk Encoding

Use this option when needing to program a large number of tags. This method captures the serial numbers from each tag, then ensures that all captured serial number is encoded with the product's information.

Caution: When using this feature, it is critical that any blank tags are removed from the field of view to avoid unintentionally encoding tags

As a safety precaution, only blank tags never before encoded, are eligible to be bulk encoded. This is a feature designed to prevent overwriting existing tags

Scan the tags to identify the number of available tags to encode

Click Bulk Encoding

Slowly move the reader over the tags

You will see the number of tags Available to Encode decrease.

Once the 'available' total is 0 a finishing prompt will appear

With encoded tags now in hand you can scan and upload these tags into your inventory.
