EZOfficeInventory’s RFID asset tracking software will drastically speed up equipment processing at your organization. This blog will take you through the process of setting up your TSL 1128 RFID Scanner and using the EZOfficeInventory mobile app to scan your way to more streamlined RFID equipment management!
Note: This integration is currently only supported on iOS devices, with Android support to follow soon.
Getting Started with RFID Asset Tracking
To get things started, go to Settings → Add Ons → Handheld Scanner Integration → RFID Reader, and click Enabled.

Scanning RFID Tags
For iOS Devices:
1) Make sure your RFID scanner is turned on. Next, sign in to your iOS EZOfficeInventory app and click the scanning symbol on the top bar, highlighted in red in the image below. You can now choose the TSL RFID Scanner option in the overlay.
2) You’ll now be asked to pair your RFID Reader with our app. You can also do this directly from your phone settings. Remember to enable your Bluetooth! After choosing the RFID Reader, you’ll be taken back to the scanning screen.
3) Now, simply scan your labels! The TSL 1128 RFID Reader is a dual reader, meaning it scans both RFID tags and Barcodes. You can long-click the trigger to scan RFID tags, and double-click to scan Barcodes. All the scanned items will show up on the screen instantly. Below, we’ve scanned three assets and then unselected the Office Smartphone by tapping its photo. You can also do this by long-pressing the item details.
