20. If the test fails, follow the instructions given by the application. If you repeatedly get the "Move
inlay closer to antenna" instruction, ensure the inlay is directly over the antenna and there are no
objects between the antenna and inlay.

22. This completes the reader test.
Aligning the Antenna
After verifying that the reader is operating properly, use the following procedure to align the antenna(s).
Aligning the antenna(s) ensures optimal performance.
1. Connect the reader to COM1 or COM2 and turn the power on.
2. Run the application "Test Tool" in the "Tools" folder in the start menu.
3. From the mode menu, choose "Antenna Alignment".
4. Select the antenna you wish to align with the available antenna buttons. Press the "Go" button.
5. Position an object with a inlay in the "scanning area", the point where you intend to scan.
6. Adjust the antenna until the application indicates it detects a inlay. You can find the complete
scanning field by moving the inlay around. When the application detects a inlay, the window will
flash with the message "Label Found". Press the "GO" button again to stop the alignment test.

Writing Information to Tag-it UHF inlay Inlays
Read/write inlays can be written to using the reader. Each bit of memory is write once, read many
(WORM). Meaning after you have written to a specific bit, it is permanent and cannot be overwritten
or erased. To add more data to the inlay you must write to a different bit. Another feature included
with each user-writable word of memory is a Write-Protect bit. This bit allows you to protect an entire
word (16 bits) after any or all of the bits have been written.
1. Start the Demo application as described in the previous section.
2. Position an object with a inlay within 24 inches of the transmitting antenna and double click on its
ID to bring up the inlay dialog.
3. In the Write Protect frame, hit "Query All". Any writable memory location will become editable
(white), while write protected memory locations will stay gray.
4. Move the mouse cursor over a memory location and click within that location to edit it. Enter a
new value and then hit "refresh" or move the cursor to a different memory location and click. The
application will attempt to write the value you specified to the inlay.
