the ‘Verify’ button. Page 1 to page 17 will be filled with the value 0x00. While

17 page mode
A pod must be placed on the equipment, otherwise you cannot switch to this
mode. Press the ‘Verify’ button for more then 3 seconds to enter the ‘17 page
mode’. Confirm the following question with the ‘Verify’ button. Then the software
asks for the output format of the tag data. The available formats are ASCII or
hexadecimal.
In the ASCII mode all not presentable characters will be converted to inverse
blanks (out of 0x20 .. 0x7F).
In Hex mode the value is shown as two ASCII hex digits from 00 to FF.
This mode can be leaved either by pressing the ‘Reset’ button or removing the
pod.
An ‘L’ is displayed in the right column if the RF tag page is locked.

(change filler to 0x23 = ‘#’)
