3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
Finding items with the Between option OFF (deselected)
When the DLA reads the pull item’s tag, it plays a rapid series of high-toned
beeps and all three lights illuminate.
The distance indicator and shelf-order information are not displayed.
If the item is not shelved correctly
If you move the DLA past the proper shelf location, there will be no
indication from the DLA.
If you think that the item is misshelved, use the DLA to read the shelves near
the correct location.
4. If you cannot locate the item, use the scroll button to select the next item on the list and repeat steps 1-3.
Step 3—Remove the pulled items from the pull list
As you locate items, you can remove them from the pull list.
• After you have pulled all the items that you were able to locate, you
can import the pull-list results using Data Manager software.
• When you import pull-list results, Data Manager software creates a
text file that includes the Item IDs of all the items that you removed
from the pull list.
To remove an item from a pull list
1. After you remove the item from the shelf, press Pulled.
a) The Pull-list Counter shows that one item was found and
removed from the pull list.
b) The selected item is removed from the list and the next item on
the pull list appears.
c) The Undo option appears in the menu.
If desired, press Undo to restore (add back to the list) the last item
that you removed from the pull list.
2. Press the trigger and continue finding other items on the pull list.
Restoring pull lists
The Restore function allows you to restore the pull list to its original state (number of items).
When you restore a pull list, any items that you pulled and removed from the pull list are added back to
