![Getting Started 1 - 5MC319Z RFID Mobile Computer LEDsThe mobile computer LEDs indicate charging and reader status as described in Table 1-1.Reading TagsTo read RFID tags: 1. Remove the MC319Z from AC power and ensure the LLRP icon is green.2. Use an RFID reader application to enable tag reading. For a sample application, browse to the MC319Z Application directory and select RFIDSample3Plus.exe. See Chapter 4, RFID Sample Application [TBD].3. Aim the mobile computer at the tag, oriented horizontally or vertically depending on the tag orientation. The distance between the tag and the antenna is the approximate read range.4. Press the trigger or tap the on-screen Read command within the application to interrogate all RFID tags within the radio frequency (RF) field of view and capture data from each new tag found. Release the trigger or tap the Stop Read command to stop interrogating tags.Table 1-1 LED Status IndicatorsLED IndicationCharging IndicatorsOff Mobile computer not placed correctly in the cradle; cable not connected correctly; charger is not powered.Fast Blinking Amber Error in charging; check placement of mobile computer. Slow Blinking Amber Mobile computer is charging.Solid Amber Charging complete.Note: When the battery is initially inserted in the mobile computer, the amber LED flashes once if the battery power is low or the battery is not fully inserted.NOTE When connected to power, the mobile computer cannot read RFID tags.](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/MC319ZUS.Manual-Operation/User-Guide-1441239-Page-17.png)












![3 - 8 MC319Z RFID Mobile Computer Integrator GuideExit LLRPTap the LLRP icon, then tap Exit to close the LLRP application. To restart LLRP after exiting, use File Explorer to browse to the \Application\LLRP folder and tap the LLRP executable (MobileLLRP.exe).LLRP Registry Entries RFID (LLRP) does not run when the MC319Z is charging. Developers who require using the cradle with RFID enabled can select Developer Mode by modifying a registry entry.•User Mode - In this default mode, placing the mobile computer in the cradle (with charging on) disables LLRP and the LLRP icon indicates that it is disconnected. Placing the mobile computer on AC power charges the device and disables LLRP. Removing AC power reconnects LLRP.•Developer Mode - Selecting Developer Mode disables charging and the developer can place the mobile computer in the cradle for debugging and development. The device remains in Developer Mode regardless of whether it is charging until re-enabling User Mode.To select Developer Mode via registry: 1. Edit the file params.reg in the \Application folder. To do this, copy the file to the PC, or use a word editor on the mobile computer. 2. Set the DevMode registry entry value to 1:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symbol\RFID\LLRP]"DevMode"=dword:000000013. Tap on the modified file and select Yes to merge the registry. 4. Warm boot the device by holding down the 7, 9, and Power keys.5. Restart LLRP (if it is not already running).To change back to user mode, repeat this procedure, setting DevMode to 0.LLRP checks AC power every five seconds and takes the appropriate action based on whether or not it is in User Mode.](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/MC319ZUS.Manual-Operation/User-Guide-1441239-Page-30.png)
![Chapter 4 RFID Sample Application [TBD][DEMO APPLICATION TBD]IntroductionApplication developers can use the RFID sample application RFIDSample3Plus.exe for an overview of how the application works and to assist in custom application development. The mobile computer can read, write, lock, kill, and program Gen2 tags. Each tag contains the EPC number (64 or 96 bits), CRC, and kill code. The mobile computer can also collect data by decoding in-range EPC Gen2 RFID tags.Initiating the read command within the sample application causes the mobile computer to interrogate all RFID tags within the radio frequency (RF) field of view. The reader captures data from each new tag and adds it to the list box in the EPC ID window. Select Stop Read to stop interrogating tags.](https://usermanual.wiki/Zebra-Technologies/MC319ZUS.Manual-Operation/User-Guide-1441239-Page-31.png)
