For your Safety 1. For your Safety 1.1 General Use The Fast tagging station is designed to be reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips:  Take care not to scratch the device. Keep the device clean. When working with the device, use only TAGSYS-approved accessories.  This device is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry.  Protect the device from extreme temperatures. For example, do not place the device in a windowed area where the sun may cause extreme temperatures, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.  Do not store or use the device in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.  Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the device. If the surface of the device becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution. 1.2 Care and Maintenance This device is a product of superior design and should be handled with care. The suggestions below will further increase the lifetime of this device. • Keep the device and all parts and accessories out of the reach of small children. • Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. • Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged. • Do not store in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics. • Do not store in cold areas. When the device warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside the device, which may damage electronic circuit boards. • Do not attempt to open the device. Non-professional handling of the device may damage it. • Handle the device with care. Shocks may break internal circuit boards. • Do not clean the device with harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents. Gently wipe the device with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water solution. • Do not paint the device. Paint may clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper operation. Paint with metallic contents may limit device performances. • If the device or any accessory are not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified TAGSYS representative.

Fast Tagging Station User's Guide 4.3 Cell configuration 4.3.1 Function It allows the main axis to rotate when the Fast Tagging Station is ON and it stops only when the optical cell detects a TAGSYS RFID tag to be peeled off. The cell must be positioned with accuracy to ensure the TAGSYS RFID tag that coming out from the roll to be detected. When the TAGSYS RFID tag is peeled off a new one is provide. The cell configuration is crucial for efficient use of the Fast Tagging Station. In case the strip does not stop to the desired position, quickly switch off the Fast Tagging Station. 4.3.2 Configuration CAUTION: If the cell is badly positioned, the label roll can unwind when switched ON. In that case 1. Mask the cell with your finger to stop the roll unwinding 2. Switch OFF the Fast Tagging Station Reset the cell to the correct position (back and forth ensure the cell being adequately masked by the tag) By default, the cell is well positioned. Test on one tag first. The engine should stop when the tag is positioned as shown on the picture. 18/27 Revision 2.1 October 2007
Installation If not, adjust the position of the cell by unscrewing the black roller. Screw it back after. October 2007 Revision 2.1 19/27
Fast Tagging Station User's Guide 5. Operations 5.1 What tagging consists of? Tagging consists of the following operations:  Scanning the barcode or typing either Code or Title of the item and the retrieval of its associated data in the database.  Programming the TAGSYS RFID Tag with data extracted from the database.  Attaching the label to the item. (Use converted TAGSYS RFID Tags)  If non-converted TAGSYS RFID Tags are used then add a library logo sticker  Control tagging quality To reduce the initial tagging period, it is important that tagging be carried out with such efficiency that each item is tagged and verified correctly the first time. 5.2 Benefits of using the Fast Tagging Station The Fast Tagging Station is a tool that speeds up the tagging process. It combines a semi-automatic label dispenser with a RFID reader embedded. It allows programming the TAGSYS RFID tag positioned over the cell. The Fast Tagging Station allows to program up to 4 tags per minute per person. 20/27 Revision 2.1 October 2007
Fast Tagging Station Use 6. Fast Tagging Station Use 1. Power up the Fast Tagging Station • Make sure the cell is well positioned. • Connect the Fast Tagging Station to your PC 2. Each time a tag is provided, program it with the software 3. Peel off the tag. a - The label to peel appears as shown Label’s part unstuck b - Put your finger under the Label’s part unstuck as shown and pull it back October 2007 Revision 2.1 21/27
Fast Tagging Station User's Guide 7. Fast Tagging Station Demo Software 5.1 Purpose of the Fast Tagging Station Demo software TAGSYS provides demonstration software to illustrate the tagging operation sequence. It writes into the tag all the permanent data defined in the ISO Library Mapping Software Guide. It shows the differences of memory mapping between the Folio20 and the Folio320 and the Folio370. Please refer to ISO Library Mapping Software Guide for more information. To install the demonstration software,  Launch Setup.exe and follow on the displayed instructions. 7.2 Recommended algorithm We recommend to develop a software using the ISO Library SDK (available on www.tagsysrfid.com, partner section with username and password). Please refer to ISO Library SDK documentation for more information. 7.2.1 Cataloguing operation This operation does not involve RFID manipulations and can be integrated in the Figure 6: Converting Operation FlowChart. In this operation you collect all the information to be written into the tag’s memory that is the permanent data (barcode, location, etc …). Carry on this operation by manual entry using a software or a database access. Prepare data to write into the tag Fill the object item from the class LIBTSMAPXLib.LibTSMapItem. Set the permanent data : • Barcode • Location • Type • Referenced • Order • Number of items (See Folio220 limitations in ISO Library Mapping Software) using manual entries or database access 22/27 Revision 2.1 October 2007
Fast Tagging Station Demo Software 7.2.2 Converting operation This operation involves RFID manipulations. In order to carry on fast and efficient operation, all data to be programmed into the tag must be set in the database and available by entering the barcode, a code or the title. A communication with the reader is opened at the beginning of the process and closed at the end. As many tags as use can be processed as long as the communication is opened. • First, position the tag on the antenna. • Second, write the information into the tag. • Third, check that the writing operation has been successful. To do so, read the tag. • Fourth, check all the fields. • Reiterate the operation with another tag and other data.
