The scanner is used for locating first time files, auditing locations and returning retrieved files. The use of the scanner is fairly standard; other than the direction of the scanning of files.
| i) | Using the Hand Held scanner |
To scan the records into locations using the hand held scanner:
Select the ‘Collect Data’ option on the scanner by pressing enter or ‘1’
The scanner will read ‘Scan Location/Barcode’.
Scan the bar code ‘location label’ first.
The scanner will now read ‘Scan Barcode'. Now scan the bar code ‘file label’ and insert the record into the shelf that has just been scanned.
For Locating first time Files – scan and locate from position ‘n’ to position 1. (See Diagram 1 & 2)
For Auditing Files - scan from position 1 to position ‘n’.
(See Diagram 1 & 2)
For Returning Retrieved Files – Fill in from the left of position 1.
(See Diagram 2)
Repeat this procedure until all the records have been randomly inserted into selected location wherever space was available or the bay has been audited.
