Using RFID in Leap

Note:
The RFID icon on the search and return buttons indicates that RFID is enabled for the workstation.

Once RFID has been enabled for Leap on a workstation, you can place an RFID-tagged item on the RFID reader pad and do the following:

• Find item records using the quick search box.

  If the quick search input box is empty and an RFID-tagged item is on the pad, selecting the RFID-enabled quick search button will automatically find the item if a match exists in the database.



• Check In items

  Selecting the RFID-enabled icon acts as an on-screen shortcut equivalent to the F9 shortcut key combination in the Polaris staff client. If the Auto-RFID option is checked, auto-polling is used.

  • If the RFID tag cannot be read, the following message is displayed: Tag not found, please try again.
  • If the item is successfully checked out, a single attempt is made to disable security on the tag. If this attempt fails, the following message is displayed: Unable to turn off security for item [barcode].
