Detailed Step-by-Step Summary: Scan Functionality
Introduction to Scanning
- Scan Functionality Overview: The scan functionality of the device allows users to manage printed labels by scanning barcodes.
- Button Location: The scan function is activated by pressing the larger button located just below the power button on the side of the device.
Step 1: Activating the Scan
- Press the Scan Button: To begin scanning, press the lower section of the larger button. This action activates the scan beam (red) and the flashlight simultaneously, making it easy to locate and scan the barcode on the label.
Step 2: Managing Scanned Labels
- Options After Scanning: Once the label’s barcode is scanned, the device offers two primary options:
- Remove the Label: You can choose to remove the scanned label from the print log, which also removes it from the expire report. This is useful for keeping the expire report accurate.
- Reprint the Label: Alternatively, you can reprint the label. Before reprinting, you can update the label’s expiry date, ensuring that the new label reflects the correct information.
Step 3: Updating the Expiry Date
- Changing the Date: If the label’s expiry date needs to be updated, you can override the existing date by selecting a new one.
- Reprinting: After updating the expiry date, you can proceed to reprint the label with the new date, ensuring that the label information is current.
By following these steps, you can effectively use the scan functionality to manage labels, keep your print log and expiry report up to date, and ensure that labels reflect accurate expiry dates.
