Introduction
The AUR720 is a handheld UHF RFID reader, which is compliant with UHF EPC Class1/Class3 Gen2/ISO
18000-6C standards.
The AUR720 is designed for short reading range applications. It features BLE communication interface,
which be able to send out the reading data to BLE-enabled host, such as computer, smartphone or tablet.
The reader is integrated with 2D barcode scanner, which make it able to do copy-paste function (read
barcode then write to tag EPC memory) under offline operation.
Set up the BLE to Bluetooth HID profile to support keyboard emulation, which can direct send tag, barcode
data to host application without requiring any SDK Library implemented.
The AUR720 supports for Windows 7, 10, Android, iPhone and iPad.
