Now on the right side of the window, click on the down-arrow next to “Comm 1” and select the Comm port that your scanner is connected to. Also, make sure that “A” is selected as the address, as that is the default setting. Select the Comm port that your scanner is plugged into and verify that the Address is set to A (the default).

Simply click “Yes” to proceed. The Installer will launch a window informing you of the install process. Press “Yes” when it asks you to overwrite an existing file. After the Installer is done with copying your files over, you will be brought back into the “Extended Preferences” window.
Using Your New PT600/630 Scanner Now that you are ready to use your PT600 Scanner, you can now begin to take inventory in your store. To begin taking inventory, press the large orange button on the scanner to turn it on. You will now be in the main screen of the scanner. Here you will be presented with a choice of programs to run on your scanner. To take inventory in your store, you will want to use the collect.exe program on your scanner. Select collect.exe, and you are ready to continue.
Importing Your Scanned Inventory Now that your inventory is complete, you will need to add your new inventory to Furniture Wizard. To do so, you have to plug your scanner into its cable or the optional charging Cradle. Now, go into your Furniture Wizard program, and click on the Inventory Button on the main screen. Enter Furniture Wizard, and Click on the Inventory button On the inventory screen, click the “Reconcile Inventory” button.
Performing Your First Inventory Session When performing your inventory for the first time in your store, you will want to create a new inventory session. This will take all the items that you scan in and tell the furniture wizard program how many of each item you have. WARNING If you have already begun a scan of your inventory, and simply wish to add to it, then do NOT choose to create a new inventory session.
Once you have selected a branch, you will receive a list of all the items you have scanned, along with the quantity that furniture wizard has on those specific items, and how many you have scanned in during this new inventory session. The Inventory Reconciliation Program window Here you can preview a list of all the items you have scanned in, and analyze it before you decide to integrate the new quantities into furniture wizard.
Continuing a Current Inventory Session If you have more items to scan in for the same branch, then you can add these items to your current session, thereby updating your current inventory. Therefore, if in your previous scan you had 4 chairs, and in your second scan you found 2 more, then the total would be brought up to 6, instead of replacing the previously scanned in information. Continue scanning in your items, as you have done before in the previous section.
Updating Your Inventory Now that you have had a chance to go through your scanned items, you can select which ones you want to integrate into Furniture Wizard. From the “Inventory Reconciliation Program” window, select the items that you want to import, by adding a checkmark next to them in the Inventory Reconciliation Program window. If you wish to add all of the items you have scanned in, then you can click on the “Tag All” button and all of the items will be marked for you.
Un-Scanned Inventory When you perform an inventory scan with your PT600 scanner, only the items that you have scanned will be updated in your inventory. This prevents you from accidentally missing an item during your scan and having that item be replaced with an incorrect quantity. Once you have completed your inventory scan, Furniture Wizard allows you to see a list of items that were missed during your scan.
This report allows you to see any items that were not updated during a certain inventory scan, given any date range of your choosing. To do this, simply select the branch of your choice, and a starting date and ending date. By selecting a date range you can make sure to exclude items that were scanned in a prior scan, but not the latest one.
Troubleshooting the PT600 If your PT600 is behaving strangely, there are a few things that you can do to verify it is configured properly. The first thing you need to check is to make sure that your serial port is configured properly, with the settings illustrated previously. Once you have verified those settings, closely follow the following steps to check your scanner, and correct the settings if necessary. 1.
