Chapter 3 Handheld Portable Reader
3.1. Overview
The Intelligent Library System (ILS) Handheld Portable Reader is a key component in
Checkpoint's family of ILS products. Consisting of a lightweight, handheld sensing unit, the
Handheld Portable Reader combines convenience with versatility. An extendable handle makes it
easy to read items placed in hard-to-reach areas, while the sophisticated antenna design and
electronics make the Handheld Portable Reader the longest-range portable reader available. This
feature is exceptional when checking inventory or trying to locate materials that haven’t been
shelved properly.
The ILS Handheld Portable Reader is designed with ease of use in mind. The handheld antenna
contains three LED's: the green light indicates power on, the red light alerts the user that a
Circulation Circuit is being read, and the yellow one indicates a low battery.
The ILS Handheld Portable Reader enables a fast, efficient and accurate method for taking
inventory of the library material.
The Portable Data Terminal (PPT 2700/2800) enables data to be uploaded or downloaded from
the Application Server, providing both inventory and search capability.
