Your system administrator must install the Percon Portable File Transfer software to the workstation before you can upload the information from your Percon unit to the workstation. (For more information about installing the software, see Setting Up a Hand-held Computer for Inventory.)
After you upload the information to the workstation, you can process the information on your Horizon server.
To upload data from a Percon unit
1 | Connect the Percon unit to the workstation by doing one of these options: |
• | Connect the cable provided with the Percon unit (15-pin to 9-pin) to the bottom of the Percon unit and the COM port on the back of the workstation. |
• | Connect the Percon unit (with the PT Dock Adapter attached) to the PT Dock. |
2 | On your workstation, start the Percon Portable File Transfer utility. |
To do this, double-click the icon on your desktop. (For more information on where to find the icon, see your system administrator.)
Windows displays the Percon Portable File Transfer window.
3 | Choose Options, Connect to open the communications port on the workstation. |
Windows displays “-- Communications port opened. --” inside the Percon Portable File Transfer window.
4 | Choose File, Receive to prepare the workstation for the transfer. |
Windows displays the File to Receive window:
5 | Make note of the folder where the file will be stored so you can use that information to find the file when you process the information later. |
6 | Enter a file name in the File name field. |
7 | Press Enter or click OK. |
The Percon Pro F T displays a waiting message while it waits for the file to transfer.
8 | Do one of these options: |
• | If the Percon unit already shows the Inventory menu, skip to step 10. |
• | If the Percon unit does not already show the Inventory menu, press F3 from the Main Menu to go to the Inventory menu. |
9 | On the Percon unit, press F2 to go to the Send menu. |
10 | On the Percon unit, press F3 to upload the barcodes to the workstation. |
The Percon unit displays “Send Complete” and the Percon Portable File Transfer window displays a file received message.
11 | On the Percon unit, press F4 once or twice to return to the Main Menu. |
Note: You might want to process the barcodes in Horizon before you delete the file from your Percon unit to make sure you do not need the file anymore. (For more information, see Processing Uploaded Inventory Data in Horizon.)
