StackTag tags delivered on a roll are always fully powered (ST normal
power mode or 6000 mode). Fully or normal powered tags are ON all the

the Reader antenna.
To decrease tag clashing and increase anti-collision and stackability for
some applications the tags can be reconfigured by end-users to a ¼ low
power mode (ST ¼ normal power mode or 2000 mode). This means that
tags in the ¼ low power mode are muted ¾ of the time and do not to reply to

Reading and writing speeds depend on reader-
tag communication speeds, the number of
receiver channels, amount of information to be
read and/or written and the number of tags
presented at a time. The additional number of
tags and information to be read and especially
written slows down the read-write communication
speed. Please consult Magellan or your support
organisation regarding these issues for your
specific application.
Be aware that tags and Readers can be
incompatible with each other.
work with all types of Readers. Smaller tags
require higher field strengths and as a result they
may not operate with some Readers or have to be
closer to a Reader antenna to operate. Refer to
