3M™ Digital Library Assistant User Guide
The software searches the lists currently on the memory card for any items that match the find criteria.
4. If the DLA finds matches, the Item information appears on the screen.
If the DLA finds multiple matches, use the scroll buttons to view other items.
Step 2—Use the DLA to help locate items
The Verify option is disabled when using the Find Items function.
1. If necessary, use the scroll buttons to select the item that you want to
find.
2. Turn the Between option ON or OFF.
• Deselect the Between checkbox if you are trying to find an item in a
location where the items are not in shelf order.
• Select the Between checkbox if you are trying to find an item in a
location where the items are in shelf order.
If the item that you wish to find is not on a shelf-order list the
Between option will not be available.
Note: Leave the Between checkbox deselected if you are trying to find an item in a location where the
items are not in shelf order (such as a pre-shelving or processing area).
3. Locate the shelf area where you believe the item(s) are located.
4. Press and hold the trigger (or use the trigger lock) and begin to read the
shelf.
• If the Between option is ON, the distance indicator, LED indicators,
and alert beeps will tell you how close you are to the area where the
item is expected to be. (Note: shelf-order information may be
incorrect if the items are not in the correct location or if the area is
not in shelf order.)
• The DLA will indicate if it reads any of the items on a find list. For
example, if your find list contains multiple copies of the same title,
the DLA indicates if any of the copies are read.
Note: When you select the Between: checkbox, the distance indicator shows how close you are to the
correct location and provides shelf-order information.
5. If the DLA reads an item on the find list, remove the item from the shelf and press
Clear.
• The DLA removes the find item from the list and the next item appears on the
screen.
• To remove all the items from the find list, press and hold the Clear button.
6. If the DLA finds the proper shelf position but the item is not there, the tone and the
light alternates between yellow and red and the shelf-order information appears on
