Reading Tags
The M5e reader can use the settings in the Tag Operations tab to read the tag EPCs and
retrieve the tag read metadata. You can read a single tag or multiple tags.
To read tags:
1. Type in the amount of time in which you want the reader to read tags.
2. To read a single tag, click Read Single.
3. To read multiple tags, click Read Multiple.
The tag ids are displayed in the text field.
Note
Retrieve Metadata will only return tag read metadata when used with Read
Multiple.
Note
Tags are only read on the configured antenna. The Read Multiple button does not
support Multi-antenna Search.
