3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Any search item that is not on a shelf-order list is added to the bottom of the display list.
If the item is already on the display list and you read the item again:
• The DLA plays a series of three rapid beeps and all three lights illuminate.
• The DLA displays the search item’s information.
Step 2—Save the collected data to a collection category
As you collect Item IDs, you should periodically save them to one of the categories
on the memory card.
1. From the Collect Data screen, press Save.
The Save data screen appears.
2. Select the category where you want to store the collected Item IDs.
This screen displays the current number of collected Item IDs saved in each
category.
3. From the Save Data screen, press Save.
• The DLA saves all the Item IDs in the display list to the selected category on
the memory card.
• Press Back to return to the Collect Data screen without saving the Item IDs.
4. The Collect Data screen appears again.
• Press Save again if you want to save the display list in another category.
• You can also insert a different memory card and save the display list to it.
• If desired, press and hold Clear to clear all the Item IDs from the display list.
5. Press and hold the DLA trigger (or use the trigger lock) to start collecting more
data.
Duplicate data
In some instances, the DLA will save duplicate Item IDs in the same category.
When you use Data Manager software to import collected data from the DLA, Data
Manager removes any duplicate Item IDs that you saved to a collection category.
