Step 1—Use the DLA to read all the items on the shelf
1. From the Home screen, press Order.
2. Adjust the antenna position parallel to the book spine.
3. If the first book is against a metal shelf divider:
• Pull the book out approximately 2.5 in. (6,35 cm)
- or -
• Place your finger between the left side of the book and the
metal shelf divider to create a 0.5-inch (1.3-cm) gap.
4. Use the DLA to read the shelf.
a) Press and hold the trigger (or use the trigger lock function).
b) Touch the antenna to the first item on the left side of the
shelf.
• Hold the antenna parallel to the book spine.
• The bottom of the antenna should line up with the bottom of the book spine.
c) When the pacing sound starts, continue to press the trigger
and move the antenna across the shelf.
• You can hold the antenna up to 0.5 in.
(1,3 cm) from the book spine but it is often best to lightly
touch the antenna to each book.
• Move the DLA at a rate of approximately one book per
pacing sound.
• The pacing sound stops if the DLA is not reading tags.
The pacing sound is only a reference. You can move the
DLA at a slightly slower or faster speed.
5. When you reach the end of the shelf, release the trigger and
check the DLA screen for errors:
• If no errors are found,
use the DLA to read the next shelf.
• If shelf-order errors are found,
see Step 2—Correct any shelf order errors on page 61 for instructions on how to find, correct, and clear
errors.
