Figure 8.4 Book Tagging Procedure
1
Open printed material to the inside back cover.
2 Peel the backing from the tag.
Note: Metallic covers interfere with reading of the circuit. If the book has a metallic cover, photocopy or
replace the cover. Or cut a 3” x 3” (7.6 cm x 7.6 cm) section from the back of the cover and place the
tag in this section.
3 Place the tag in position 1; the lower inside corner of the printed material, leaving
1.2cm (½”) clearance from the spine of the material and 1.9cm (3/4”) from the bottom
of the material, as seen in the tag placement diagram above.
4 In the next printed material, place the tag in position 2. This is 1.2cm (½”) above the
top of the tag in the first printed material at position 1, as shown in the tag placement
diagram. The total distance from the bottom of the printed material to position 2 is
8.2cm (3 1/4”).
5 In the next printed material, place the tag at position 3. This is 1.2cm (½”) above the
top of the tag at position 2, as shown in the tag placement diagram. The total distance
from the bottom of the printed material to position 3 is 14.6cm (5 3/4”).
6 This completes the treatment pattern, which is now repeated successively for all
subsequent materials.
Note Do not place the tag over an EAS tag.
