ABSTRACT:
A garment tag reading system which includes a Kimball tag reader and a data processing unit is described for reading and decoding information encoded on a garment tag. An interface unit is used to permit direct communication between the tag reader, which has a memory for storing the coded information read from the garment tag, and the data processing unit. The interface unit includes a column driver having a plurality of low voltage amplifiers which provide amplified output voltages in response to voltage-level increases caused by the programmed operation of the data processing unit. The output voltages are serially applied to the tag reader memory for interrogating the memory to retrieve the coded information. The information from the tag reader memory is received by a data input/output circuit in the interface unit in the form of decimal coded output voltages and is subsequently entered into the data processing unit for decoding into a readable format.
