Section 2 – Basic Operation
Pad Staff Workstation Software
The 3M™ Pad Staff Workstation software consolidates a
number of library functions to enable staff to process items
identified by 3M™ D8 RFID tags. The workstation reads item
ID information from the tags and sends the information to the
library circulation system. The Pad Staff Workstation software
secures and un-secures tags as required.
The Pad Staff Workstation software can perform the following
operations:
§
Check-In
and
Check-Out
Send IDs to circulation and
secure or un-secure items.
§
Send ID
Send item identifiers read from tags to the library
circulation system.
§
Secure/Un-Secure Only
Change the status of items
security without sending IDs to the circulation system.
§
Read Tags Only
