                                                           shorter in the write process than in the read process.
                                                           If so, make the RF tag surface parallel to the antenna surface.
  Is the RF tag inclined with respect to the antenna?
                                                           If not, it may be read incorrectly or could not be read at all.

   Precautions to be taken during RFID communication:
       Even in the case of an RF tag conformable to the specifications described above, you may experience “unstable
       communication” or “communication failure”.
       To avoid such problems, carefully check the operation of the scanner with RF tags intended for use in the actual
       operating environment.
       Do NOT touch the antenna and its surrounding parts during reading by the scanner. This may result in poor
       reception.
       You may experience poor communication performance in the presence of any metal object.

Writing performance

Tag memory writing requires more electric power than tag memory reading: If the same outputlevel is set for reading and
writing. the writing range may be smaller than the reading range. Therefore, even if an RF tag is read successfully, a write
error may occur due to insufficient RF tag power. Check the operation of the scanner beforehand. If an RF tag is not
successfully written, adjust its position or change the communication range (output) setting to enables the write operation.
