4.3.1 BARCODE READER SETTINGS
The barcode reader configurations depend on the scan engine(s) installed. You can
tell which reader is currently in use and make necessary changes on the General
tab.
BARCODE READER DESCRIPTION
CCD/Laser
Reader
If enabled, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the
reader settings for CCD or Laser scan engine.
Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix II – CCD/Laser
Scan Engine.
2D Reader The 2D scan engine is capable of reading linear and 2D
barcodes.
If enabled, tap the [Barcode Reader] button to configure the
reader settings for 2D scan engine.
Refer to the Reader Settings Table in Appendix III – 2D Scan
Engine.
4.3.2 RFID READER SETTINGS
If the RFID scan engine is present, configurable options will be displayed.
Note: Because it is possible to read barcode and RFID tag at the same time, it is
recommended that only one scan engine is enabled at a time to prevent
from misreading.
Some RFID tags support both read/write operations, on a page-by-page basis. You
may find it necessary to define your own read/write operation. For reference only,
the table below lists the start page for read/write operation on a number of RFID
tags.

0Tag-it HF-I (ISO 15693)
0Others (ISO 15693)
5ICODE (Phillips)
Note: Please refer to the specifications of your RFID tags for memory organization.
READ OPERATION
By default, the RFID tag is read from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default
page, amount of bytes and number of pages of each tag may be different. Specify
how many bytes of data you want to read from the tag.
Generally, the read data is user data obtained from the user block. If you are sure
that the data is to be read from a non-user block, such as the lock block, you need
to select the check box of [Display hex values] first.
WRITE OPERATION
Type the string that you want to write to a tag. By default, the string is written to the
tag from byte 0 of the default page. However, the default page, amount of bytes
and number of pages of each tag may be different. Therefore, the input string will
automatically be truncated to fit into pages, and data may be discarded when it
comes to the end of pages available.
Generally, it will write the input string to the user block, which is free for custom use.
The string will be displayed as “user data”. If you wish to write the string to a non-user
block, such as the lock block, you need to select the check box of [Use hex values]
first.
Once you have selected to use hex values for the string, make sure the string length
must be even. For example, if you want to write 0x0A, 0x0B and 0x00 to a tag, the
string you input must be “0A0B00” instead of “AB0”.

registry to the DiskOnChip folder first! Tap [Save] now to save the current system
registry to "\DiskOnChip\Sysbak\Registry.dat".

settings, you must tap [Save] to update the system registry here.
Otherwise, it will reload the old registry values in use after a cold boot.
If you wish to reset the current system configurations and settings to defaults, tap
[Reset] to delete the current system registry "\DiskOnChip\Sysbak\Registry.dat". It will
then reload the default registry values after a cold boot.
