3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Setting the find function default prefix
When you select the Find option from the main menu, any default prefix that you define appears in the find
field(s).
You can set a default find Prefix for each of the find field selections (Item ID, Primary Info, Secondary Info).
You can leave the prefix fields blank.
To set a default prefix (Handheld Model
803/804)
1. From the Options screen, press Next.
2. Use the DLA stylus to tap any of the three
fields (Item ID, Primary Info, and
Secondary Info).
3. Use the stylus to enter the desired prefix.
4. Tap OK.
Whenever you use the Find function, any
default prefix that you assign will appear in the
appropriate box.
To set a default prefix and keyboard type
(Handheld Model 702 and Model 802)
The procedure for setting a default find prefix for
an older Handheld Model 702 and Model 802 is
essentially the same as the Handheld Model
803/804.
The main difference is that you can assign a
default keyboard type (abc, 123, or Int) for each of
the three find-criteria fields available in the Find
function.
When using the Find function, the default
keyboard is the keyboard type that first appears
when you tap one of these fields.
Example: If you often if you often perform finds of items using Item
IDs, you might enter the first few characters of your branch’s barcode
(e.g., 3114700) as an Item ID prefix. This saves you from typing
“3114700” each time you need to find one of these items.
