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:

scanning or initialization process. Position the Scan Station so the operator can observe
the LEDs while scanning or initialization (Figure 6).
