RFID tag, it will send an error
message to the Scan Station. The antenna
only initializes one tag at a
a time in order to avoid writing incorrect data to
any tag.
Monitoring the Scan Station Operation:

The Scan Station reader uses a series of lights (LEDs) to display its activity during the
scanning or initialization process. Position the Scan Station so the operator can observe
the LEDs while scanning or initialization (Figure 6).
