Inconsistent Scanning Issues?
Most issues with inconsistent scanning, are the result of the tags being placed on improper surfaces.
We have two different types of tags based on the types of surfaces that you may encounter.
Metal label tags are white labels that can only be placed on metal surfaces to work properly.
The larger nonmetal tags are placed on everything else that is not a metal such as plastics and wood surfaces.
Here are tag placement suggestions:
