Slate R1260I Technical Information Manual 

General Information 

The Slate (Model R1260I), the new desktop reader of the easy2read© Family, is an UHF multiregional RFID reader with 
integrated antenna for short to medium range applications. 

The Slate Reader is powered and controlled directly by an USB cable, thus allowing to read EPC Class 1 Gen 2 UHF RFID 
tags in an easy desktop environment. 

Thanks  to  its  low  profile  (15  mm)  and  its  size  (approximately  an  A4  page),  the  Slate  reader  is  the  perfect  choice  for 
various applications such as point-of-sales, document tracking, RFID programming stations, access control and so on. It 
can be used as a building block for smart shelves and smart displays. 

Being compliant with both European and US regulatory environments, the Slate reader allows installations in various 
countries worldwide as needed by retailers, forwarders, warehouses and other global organizations. 

The  core  component  of  the  Slate  is  the  new  CAEN  RFID  Quark  module,  the  smallest  and  lowest  power  consuming 
module available on the market.
