What Happens When an Operator Encounters an Error? 
As everyone knows even the best operator will eventually make a mistake when picking parts. The EP1 will 
detect an invalid part selection and report it as an error. When an error is detected by the EP1, the EP1 will 
display a pop up box indicating the reason for the error while sounding an audible alarm. The scanner will then 
be locked out from scanning (disabling any more scans) until the operator acknowledges the error by tapping on 
the acknowledgement button showing on the display screen of the EP1.
