iRFID500 offline mode
In the OFFLINE mode the reader stores identity number into the internal memory when the
communication links (USB or Bluetooth®) are not available. The operator collects codes and then
connects the reader to the charger/cable in order to download the data.
In this section the words
hold
and
press
are used to indicate use of a button.
hold
indicates activate the button for over half a second.
press
indicates a momentary activate and release of the button.
To perform the tag inventory, hold down the trigger button for the desired time.
If the reader reads only one tag, the display shows the identity number of the tag. If display scroll is
enabled, the scrolling text on the display shows the whole identity number. If display scroll is
disabled, the display shows the last 8 characters of the tag identity number.
If the reader reads more than one tag, the display shows the number of read tags.
