5.11.5 Adding Parts To and Subtracting Parts From Inventory
The DC-300 is a self-contained inventory control system, capable of tracking and reporting on stock, threshold
and movement of up to 5,000 items. In order to track the inventory of an item, it must first have been
programmed into the DC-300’s memory. The following procedure is used to add inventory to and remove
inventory from an item code’s memory using the In and Out functions.
Note: The Inventory IN function is enabled by pressing the SHIFT DOWN key followed by the I key; the Inventory OUT function
by pressing the SHIFT DOWN key followed by the J key; and the Inventory NON-ADD function (so that the transaction does not
affect the quantity in memory) by pressing the SHIFT DOWN key followed by the H key.
When adding inventory quantities to an item code in memory you can add or subtract a single quantity or
multiple quantities one after the other (if, for example, you are receiving, sending or counting several bins or
boxes of the same part).
To Add or Subtract a Single Quantity to the Inventory of an Item Code in Memory
1. Recall the item from memory by entering the item code and pressing the CODE key.
2. To add a quantity to inventory, press the
SHIFT DOWN key followed by the I key. The In annunciator
illuminates. To subtract a quantity from inventory, press the
SHIFT DOWN key followed by the H key. The
Out annunciator illuminates.
3. If the tare weight and unit weight have already been associated with the ID code in memory, you can go
the Step 5. Otherwise key in the known tare weight or scan the tare weight from a barcode or put the
empty bin on the scale and press the
TARE key.
4. If the weight unit has already been associated with the ID Code in memory, you can go to Step 5.
Otherwise place a sample of 10 pieces in the bin on the scale. For accuracy it is best to put the pieces in
the same bin used to find the tare weight in Step 3. Press the
PIECES key.
5. Either pour into the bin the remaining pieces to be added or subtracted to inventory or, if the tare weight
and the unit weight of the item were already programmed into the scale, put the full container on the
scale. The DC-300 will display the quantity, unit weight, and total weight of the pieces of the container.
6. Press the
* REPRINT key to add or subtract the quantity shown on the display to the amount already stored
under the item code memory. The display will briefly say Please Wait... then return to normal.
Note: If SPEC 31 - PC/PRN Output is set to 2: By +/-/PRINT KEY, a label will print when you hit the REPRINT key showing the
count for this particular container in the default label format or the label format pre-programmed to be associated with this
particular item.
7. To view the updated inventory total, press the SHIFT DOWN key followed by the E key (for INVENT). The
second line of the scale display will show the updated inventory quantity. To exit the inventory display,
press the
CLEAR key.
8. Remove the parts from the platter and press the
CLEAR key to exit this item code. The In or Out
annunicator will also light.
To Add or Subtract Multiple Quantities to the Inventory of an Item Code in Memory
1. Recall the item from memory by entering the item code and pressing the CODE key.
2. To add a multiple quantities to inventory, press the
SHIFT DOWN key followed by the I key. The In
annunciator illuminates. To subtract multiple quantities from inventory, press the SHIFT DOWN key
followed by the H key. The Out annunciator illuminates.
3. If the tare weight and unit weight have already been associated with the ID code in memory, you can go
the Step 5. Otherwise key in the known tare weight or scan the tare weight from a barcode or put the
empty bin on the scale and press the
TARE key.
4. If the weight unit has already been associated with the ID Code in memory, you can go to Step 5.
Otherwise place a sample of 10 pieces in the bin on the scale. For accuracy it is best to put the pieces in
the same bin used to find the tare weight in Step 3. Press the
PIECES key.
5. Either pour into the bin the remaining pieces to be added or subtracted to inventory or, if the tare weight
and the unit weight of the item were already programmed into the scale, put the full container on the
scale. The DC-300 will display the quantity, unit weight, and total weight of the pieces of the container.
6. Press the
+ key. The memory annunicator will light up.
7. Remove the first container of parts from the platter and place the second container on the platter. Press
the
+ key to add or subtract these parts to/from inventory.
