the Download Tags button.
The reader provides audible and visual indicators to the oper-
ator when the memmy is low or full. See page 6 for details.
When memomi is disabled
Tags scanned by the reader will be sent directly to your com—
puter via a serial or Bluetooth connection. If them are iags in
memory when memory is disabled, those tags are saved, but
no additional tags will be saved.

If you type names into one or more of these location fields
and then download tags, the location information is append—
ed to each tag‘ If you want to download additional tags that
were read from a different location, simply change the
names of the location fields before downloading the addi-
tional tags.
if you export the tags to your computer, the location field
information is automatically included with each tag“

if you prefer, you can use a communications program (such as
HyperTerminal) rather than the utility to manage the
reader’s memory and tags. The available commands are:
OEsc: Enter DTR Reader Console mode
sA.‘ Specify address of remote Bluetooth device address
(automatically sets the reader to master mode)
