3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Background Inventory
Enable this option if you want to automatically collect and save the Item ID of each item that you read while
you are checking shelf order.
(See Enabling Backgound inventory on page 22.)
Shelf Order display graphics
After reading a shelf, the DLA lists any shelf-order errors and search results in the
order that they were found.
• The shelf-order graphics help you identify the items and their location.
• All shelf errors are numbered in the order that they were found.
Shelf errors
Shelf Error/Items Read Counter
This counter displays the number of errors / the total number of items read. (In this
example, the DLA read 24 items and 6 errors were detected.)
Search Item
Search-list names appear each time the DLA reads an item that appears on an active
search list.
Checkshelf Alert
Checkshelf alert messages appear if the DLA reads an item near the beginning or end of
a shelf that may belong on a different shelf (see Checkshelf Alerts on page 57).
Item Not in Database
The Item ID for this item is not on any of the shelf-order and search lists on the memory
card. The shelf-location graphic shows the item’s approximate location.
Blank Tag
A "blank tag" message appears when the DLA reads a blank tag that was not correctly
programmed during the tagging process.
