Inventory Utility
The Inventory utility allows you to scan all of the tags within range of the reader, and see each tag’s
EPC and read count in a scrollable list. You start and stop the inventory utility by either holding the
pistol-grip trigger button, or by clicking once on the green Start button. The reader continues to read
tags until you release the trigger or click the Stop button. Click the red Close box at the top-right
corner to return to the main screen.
Each tag that is read is added to the
scrolling list, along with the count for
each tag. The number of unique tags
and total number of reads is displayed.
Clicking on a tag in the list shows its full
EPC below the list, and a representative
product image is displayed. Click on the
Clear button to clear the list.
Clicking the yellow Mask button at the
top of the Inventory screen takes you to
a page where you can specify a subset
of tags to read (see the Tag Mask
section). This powerful feature causes
the reader to only read the tags you
want it to read.
