Please note that the correct positions for RFID reading and barcode scanning are
very different!

inches above the tag.
Parallel,
3.0 inches (7.6 cm)

Note: The LED will turn amber to indicate that the card is reading tag IDs.
CORRECT BARCODE SCANNING POSITION:
Hold the card so that the lens is angled about 45° to the barcode
and at least 2.0 inches away from the barcode. The red laser line
should cover the entire width of the barcode.

and print surface of the barcode.
