Scan Station Operation:
The Scan Station is used in conjunction with the Imation Tape Tracking Application
Software included with the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System. Refer to Section 3 of
the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System manual for a full description of that software.
The antenna pad is used to scan the RFID tags on non-metallic storage cases or
individual cartridges or to initialize an RFID tag on one cartridge at a time. The process
starts when the user clicks on a button in the appropriate software screen on the host
computer.

for scanning. Initialization can only apply to one cartridge at a time.
2. Scan to create a shipping list—
• Click on the Create Shipping List tab on the Imation RFID Cartridge
Tracker Software (Section 3.1 of the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System
manual).
• Scan the case or cartridge by clicking on Scan.
3. Scan to create a receive list—
• Click on the Create Receive List tab on the Imation RFID Cartridge
Tracker Software (Section 3.2 of the DataGuard rf Tape Tracking System
