Begin to scan the inventory 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 on. 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.
Note
: While the red light may flash when the scanner detects any tag, a barcode will only
appear in the “Items found” list if it matches an item present in your Search Items list.
When an alert is displayed, the barcode, shelf location, and title of the item will be displayed.
Tap the <Continue> button to resume the search.
