Operating procedures
Before you perform any of these procedures, make sure that the system has been installed and configured as described in the Reference sections of this manual and related documentation.
The conversion process includes:
•entering the currently used item ID by scanning a printed barcode or using a keyboard, keypad, or list;
•printing a blank RFID tag with item ID (barcode) and library ID information;
•programming the printed RFID tag with a newly assigned RF identifier;
•applying the printed/programmed RFID tag to its corresponding collection item, which then can be detected and processed by various types of 3M RFID equipment.
