The specific operation of the terminal under this menu option will depend on the configuration of the terminal before despatch from ERS. In the default configuration the terminal cycles on a single ‘Main’ prompt ’SCAN CODE’ allowing the user to perform a simple stock check by scanning every item in each storage location. This configuration might typically be used for example to perform a simple stock take in a library. Up to 2 additional ’Pre’ and ’Post’ prompts, may also be configured into the terminal providing the flexibility to enter additional information such as Location Codes, Item Quantities etc. The 1st operator schematic shown below shows the terminal operation under the default configuration. The 2nd schematic shows how this operation may be modified by addition of the pre and/or post prompts. OPERATOR SCHEMATIC 1 DEFAULT OPERATION MAIN MENU 1. 2. 3. 4.

The operator may then return to the Pre-prompt by pressing the ESC key from the Main Prompt. Menu Option 1 selected 1. 2. 3. 4. The Pre and Post prompts may therefore be used for Stocktake applications requiring a Stores Location Code and item Quantity to be entered, or for simple Asset Control applications where a Location Code must first be entered before scanning the ID codes of all assets at the Location. nnnn SCAN LOCATION [ ] nnnn = no. items scanned Scan the Location Code.
