- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

1. Select the Import->Reader Download command located under the File
menu.
2. The Download Device Data wizard will guide you through the rest of the
process.
3. The first page of the wizard asks you to select a tag reader configured in the
active profile
.
Some advanced tag readers can store data in multiple files. Select a
particular file number to download or by default all files will be downloaded.
You can also filter any duplicate tag codes downloaded from the reader.
4. From the next page of the wizard you can assign repeating comments to the
new detail records created from the download.
5. The next page of the wizard allows you to optionally select one or more tag
actions to activate during the download. A tag action that filters certain tag
codes will remove these tags during the download process - a notification
message will be displayed for each tag filtered. Other types of tag actions that
apply comments to the new tag detail record will occur once the Finish
command is executed.
Note: Any alert notifications associated with active tag actions will be
suppressed during this process.
