Method 1—Temporary storage and shelving of returned items
Use this method for shelving groups of returned items.
1. After checking in returned items, place the unsorted items on temporary shelves.
2. Use the Sort-and-shelve function to read the unsorted items on the shelf.
a) From the Home menu, press Sort.
b) Press and hold the trigger (or use the trigger lock) and read each item by
scanning each shelf from left to right.
Many users continuously hold the trigger (or use the trigger lock) to read all the
shelves.
c) The DLA creates a numbered shelving-order list from the items that you read.
3. Remove each item from the shelf and place it on a shelving cart in the correct
shelving order (as shown on the DLA).
a) Use the item-location numbering and graphics to help you find each item and
determine its shelving order.
The shelf graphic represents all the items that the DLA read during one pass
with the trigger pressed. If you read seven shelves and the position indicator is
in the middle of the graphic, the item is somewhere on or near the fourth shelf.
b) You may want to remove any search items that appear with a search-list name
next to them.
c) If necessary, press and hold the trigger, and use the DLA to find the selected
item.
d) Place each item on the shelving cart in shelving order.
4. Move the shelving cart into the library and shelve the items.
• Use the scroll buttons to return to the top of the list.
• If desired, use the Shelving function to help re-shelve the items.
Optional Shelve function
1. Use the Sort-and-shelve function to read the items on the shelving cart.
2. Select (highlight) an item on the shelving-order list.
3. Press Shelve and use the DLA to find the correct shelf location for the selected item.
