How to Use Promag TS50 RFID Scanner (Beginner’s Guide)
1. Connecting the Device
-
Plug the TS50 scanner into your PC/laptop via USB.

Most models are plug-and-play, meaning Windows (and some Linux) auto-installs the driver.
2. Testing the Scanner
-
Open a text editor (like Notepad or MS Word).
-
Place an RFID card/tag near the scanner.
-
If it’s working, the card number/code should appear instantly on your screen.
-
By default, the TS50 works like a keyboard emulator (it "types" the card ID wherever your cursor is).
