STEP 8: Read Data

Please note that the correct positions for RFID reading and
bar code 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 BAR CODE SCANNING POSITION:
Hold the card so that the lens is angled about
45° to the bar code and at least 2.0 inches
away from the bar code. The red laser line
should cover the entire width of the bar code.
Note: The proper scanning distance and angle vary depending on
the size, type, quality, and print surface of the bar code.
