reading these tags.
The R12 RFID reader supports the following formats:

1. Open the Motion Computing RFID Demo (MCRFID.exe) utility or the RFID scanning
application of your choice.
2. Position the R12 as shown in the photo.
3. Aim the Tablet PC at the RFID tag and ensure that the tag is 1–1.5 inches (25–40 mm)
from the RFID antenna scan area.
4. If you’re using the Motion Computing RFID Demo utility, tap
