- 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.

reader and the application. Press the Stop button (Start button toggles to the
Stop button when pressed) if no data appears to be downloading. The
application will stop the process after approximately 15 seconds if no data
appear.
Tip: to initiate a buffer download from a Destron 400kHz benchtop tag
reader, cycle the power off and on, as necessary, and press the "MENU"
button repeatedly until the reader displays "DUMP MEM TO PORT". Pressing
the "START/STOP" button at this point will initiate the buffer download
process.
Warning: Do not stop a download process in progress! Tag readers cannot
be automatically stopped when they are downloading data and this may
produce undesirable side effects elsewhere in the application.
Warning: P3 will automatically time out if a device does not respond or is
configured as the wrong type. The application is not stalled. Wait for at least
20 seconds before aborting the process.
For some tag readers, P3 will automatically detect the end of input and notify
you that it is complete, or, it will automatically time out when the tag reader
stops responding. Once complete, press the Finish button to create the new
detail records in the tag session.
8. Once the download process has completed, press the Finish button to save
the download data into the selected tag session.
