3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Changing the Tag Protocol setting
Set the Tag Protocol setting to the type(s) of 3M™ RFID Tags that are used at your
site. The default setting is ISO.
1. Enter Admin mode.
2. From the Admin menu, select Settings.
The Admin Settings screen appears.
3. Under Tag Protocol, select the type of RFID tags used at your site (D1 and/or
ISO).
• If D1 is the only protocol selected, the Verify option will not appear in the
Options screen.
• If your site uses both D1 and ISO tags, select both checkboxes.
Tag Data Format option (Model 803/804)
Use this Admin function to select tag security methods and other parameters, select tag
formats, and arrange tag format priority.
1. Enter Admin mode.
2. Use the stylus to touch the menu bar area (the upper portion of the DLA screen) to
display the Admin menu.
3. From the Admin menu, select Tag Data Format. A screen with two tabs appears.
• Use the Settings tab to select tag security protocols and other parameters (if used).
• Use the Tag Formats tab to enable/disable specific tag formats, and to set tag
format priority.
Note: For optimal performance, only the formats used in your library should be enabled (disable all
unused formats in the list). Also, use the up/down buttons to give the most frequently used formats the
highest priority, with blank and ignore formats at the bottom of the priority list.
