6. Begin to scan the tagged items. Hold the wand in your hand about three inches from
the material you wish to scan. Notice that the red light on the wand is now blinking.
This indicates that the wand is detecting tagged materials. The wand can detect
circulation circuits up to a distance of 8 inches. Therefore it is important to keep the
wand focused on the intended inventory items to avoid unwanted data from being
collected.
You will notice that once you have scanned a tag, the bar code number for that tag will
appear on the PPT 2700 in the "Most Recently Scanned Items" field. The "Items Read"
field will supply you with the total number of inventory tags read over time. The "Available
Memory" field will supply you with the percentage of memory still available.
7. Once you have completed scanning all of the desired tags, tap the DONE button.
