Figure 8 – 7 Successful Tag Read
If the tag ID is not displayed, perform the following actions:
• Verify that the MPRX is in data mode (command
#00 Switch to Data Mode
).
• Ensure that the tag you are using is compatible with the MPRX. The MPRX can read
tag types that are compatible with the reader model.
• An MPRX displays the tag read for any tag that is compatible with the reader
programming.
• Using the audible circuit tester as described in “Testing the MPRX Using an Audible
Circuit Tester” on page 4-4, verify that the reader is capable of reading the tag in
the read zone. If it is, the problem is probably in the communications between the
MPRX and the host.
3. Pass a different reader-compatible test tag in front of the MPRX antenna.
4. When the MPRX reads the second tag successfully, the terminal emulation application
displays that tag’s information in the main screen below the information for the first tag,
as shown in
Figure 8 – 8 .

If the read is unsuccessful, perform the following actions:
• Ensure the tag you are using is compatible with the MPRX.
• Using the audible circuit tester as described in “Testing the MPRX Using an Audible
Circuit Tester” on page 4–3 , verify that the reader is capable of reading the tag in
the read zone. If it is, the problem is probably in the communications between the
MPRX and the host device.
