Step 1—Use the Collect Data function to collect item IDs
1. Insert a memory card into the DLA.
The memory card should contain the data collection-category labels that you
exported from Data Manager.
Note: If you want to display primary and secondary information on the DLA,
the memory card should contain shelf-order lists or search lists that include the
items that you will read.
• The DLA will display the Item ID with an "Item not in Database" message if
the item does not appear on a shelf-order or search list.
• The DLA will collect and allow you to save the Item IDs of “not in database”
items.
2. From the Home menu, press Collect.
The Collect Data screen appears.
3. Use the Collect function to collect data.
a) Press and hold the trigger (or use trigger lock) and begin reading items.
As the DLA reads each item, the primary and secondary fields appear on the
display list.
b) Release the trigger to stop reading items.
4. You can repeat Step 3 to continue to add items to the display list.
You can add up to 255 Item IDs to the display list before saving them to a
collection category.
When the DLA reads an item for the first time
• A single beep plays and the green light illuminates.
• The item appears on the display list.
Items that are on a shelf-order list appear in shelf order.
Items that are not on a shelf-order list appear at the bottom of the display list.
• If the item is already on the display list and you read the item again:
The green light illuminates and no sound is played.
When the DLA reads a search item for the first time
• The DLA plays a series of three rapid beeps and all three lights illuminate.
• In most cases, the DLA adds search items (that are also on a shelf-order list) to the display list in sort order.
