STEP 8: Read Data

Please note that the correct positions for RFID reading and barcode
scanning are very different!
CORRECT RFID POSITION:
Hold the card parallel to and directly above the tag, at most
3.0 inches above the tag.
Parallel,
3.0 inches (7.6 cm)
maximum
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.
Note: The proper scanning distance and angle vary depending on the size, type,
quality, and print surface of the barcode.
