# Set up RFID reader support

Enable RFID reader support in the NewStore Associate App to identify products and capture the Electronic Product Code (EPC) during checkout.

> [!NOTE]
> **Important**
> 
> Available as **Early Access** with Associate App 1.66.0 and only with **Checkpoint CPiD 400 POS Reader**. Contact your Customer Success Manager for more information or email success@newstore.com.

To enable the new RFID reader set up in Associate App, contact your Customer Success Manager.

1. Go to the [Associate App configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/apps/associate-app-config-api_config/#tag/Associate-App-retailer-configuration/operation/putConfig).
2. Set `release_toggles` > `new_printer_management` to `true`.

## Setting up an RFID reader for checkout

Follow these steps on each iOS device that requires RFID scanning to identify products and capture the EPC:

1. Tap the navigation drawer menu > `Settings` > `Checkpoint RFID Scanner`.
2. Enable the `Checkpoint RFID Scanning` toggle.
3. Type the IP address of the RFID reader.
4. Select the antenna that will be connected to the iOS device.
5. Tap `Test Connection` button.
  - On success: a green ‘Connection Successful’ message appears at the top of the screen.
  - On failure: a red ‘Connection Failed’ message appears. Verify the IP address and antennas, and try again.
6. Go to the cart view to see the ‘ X Stop RFID Scanning’ banner. This shows the connection is established and the reader is ready to pass the product information to the app.
