Model 711 Digital Conversion
Station
Intended Use
The 3M™ Model 711 Digital Conversion Station is designed to read barcode labels on library
items (for example, books, video cassettes, etc.) and convert that information to be read to a
3M Brand Digital Identification D1 Tag. It is designed for use in the library environment. The
barcode label information is read through the use of a laser scanner. This information from the
barcode is processed by a computer and then transferred to a radio frequency identification
(RFID) reader. This information is then read onto a 3M Brand Digital Identification D1 Tag. Only
3M Brand Digital Identification D1 Tags are to be used with the Model 711 Digital Conversion
Station. The use of other materials could lead to poor performance and unsafe conditions.
