3M RFID Pads
by Eric Blum 28 Jun '16

28 Jun '16

Hello Everyone, We have 3M RFID pads as well as a self-checkout unit. Periodically our gates will go go off even after we have checkout the items out. We have checked that Workstation is set to checkout and that the pad is reading our barcodes. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions as to what may fix items from beeping on the way out? My only other thought is that they have phones or watches that may set off the front gates. Thanks, Eric G Blum Head of Cataloging/Technology Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Rd Stevensville, MI 49127 269-429-9575 ext) 123 eblum(a)lincolnlib.org
