Use the Write page to replace the id or data that is encoded on a tag.
Write Screen
Consider the following guidelines when writing to tags:
Always place a tag 0.3-0.6m (1-2ft) from the antenna when writing. The tag may be
damaged if it is too close to the antenna
Only unlocked EPC0+, EPC1, IS018000-6b, or GEN2 tags can be written. EPC0
tags are always locked and cannot be recommissioned.
The ID to be written must match exactly the number of hexadecimal characters
(numerals from 0-9 and letters from A-F) specified by the tag’s protocol. For
example: 96-bit tag ids are 20 hexadecimal characters long; 64-bit EPC1 tag IDs are
16 hexadecimal characters long

Always place only one tag in the antenna’s field when writing. If multiple tags are
present, they may all be encoded with the same EPC data, or the write may fail.
