When you enter barcodes on a Percon unit, you can collect up to 5,000, but for safety, SirsiDynix recommends that you collect only 500 before uploading. When you finish entering barcodes, you must transfer the barcodes from the Percon unit to the workstation for processing.
Before You Begin
(For more information on resetting the Percon unit, see the Percon PT 2000 & TopGun Portable Data Terminals User’s Guide.)
