Figure 8-7 Second Successful Tag Read
If the read is unsuccessful, perform the following actions:
• Ensure the tag you are using is compatible with the Encompass 4
Reader.
• Using the audible circuit tester as described in “Testing the
Encompass 4 Reader Using an Audible Circuit Tester” on page 4-
5, verify that the reader is capable of reading the tag in the read
zone. If it is, the problem is probably
in the communications
between the Encompass 4 Reader and the host computer.
Configuring Encompass 4 Parameters
Follow the procedures in this section to configure Encompass 4 parameters using a
PC, laptop, or terminal emulator. The PC or laptop must be connected to and commu-
nicating with the Encompass 4 Reader, and the
terminal emulation application must be
configured correctly, as described in the section “Verifying Communications” on page

procedure.
