Because of the vast differences between various hardware / software manufacturers, we cannot possibly describe how to use our PBCRs for stocktaking. We can however offer this breakdown of the usual stocktake procedure.
- Check the PBCR is fully charged. ASP ships PBCRs with charged batteries but it is still a good idea to leave them charging, whenever not in use, to ensure as little as possible downtime. The units are charged by connecting to a powered Homebase (the green ‘charge’ light should come on) but leaving the PBCR itself switched to the off position.
- Clear the PBCR’s memory (Function 19). This should be done after every successful download also.
- Scan the items in small sections. Eg. Shelves
- Bring the PBCR to the Homebase and connect, via the Homebase cable. Check the green light comes on.
- Prepare the program to accept a stocktake (see your software suppliers manual).
- Begin the download (function 11).
- Check the data, if the data has errors, check the ASP web site Support page for further assistance.
- If all is correct, return to step 2 as required.
