Simple USB Card Reading Workflow
The reader is designed for applications where the card number needs to be entered directly into existing software.
- Connect the reader
Connect the reader to the host device through USB. The buzzer sounds during self-check and the red LED indicates standby mode. - Open the required software
Open Notepad, Word, Excel or another compatible application with an active text input field. - Present the RFID card
Place the ISO 14443A card or tag above the reader. - Capture the card number
The card number is automatically output to the active field. The LED changes from red to green when the card is read successfully.
This workflow allows card IDs to be collected without requiring operators to manually enter the number.
Typical Applications
- Card Enrollment & Registration
For capturing RFID card numbers during employee, visitor, membership or user registration. - Personnel Identification
Can be used with software systems that identify users through ISO 14443A card numbers. - Access Control Data Entry
Useful for registering cards into access-control databases or management software. - Parking & Membership Management
Suitable for desktop card enrollment where RFID card IDs need to be recorded before cards are issued or activated.
Setting Up USB Card Enrollment or Identification?
Share your card chip type, required output format and operating system.
These details help confirm card compatibility and whether the standard 10-digit decimal output or a customized format is more suitable for your software.
