• Editing of batches created in SysManager or TallyMan handheld

• Proofing reporting

• Exception reporting

• Error checking

• Ability to resolve scanned items not found in the system

• Ability to import and export validation and count files in RGIS format

• TallyMan module is just one of many applications that can run on these devices.

• These devices have built-in wireless functionality. When you scan a barcode, the device sends a message to TallyEZ application, which in turn connects to the data. You can operate the device off-line, but Siriusware Inc. does not recommend it.

• Do not leave the batteries out for an extended period of time (greater than ten minutes)! These devices have a short-term backup battery, but don’t rely on that. If you remove the battery, the units eventually develop “amnesia,” and you’ll have to reload the TallyMan software (and everything else) onto them.

• These devices come with cradles; once you put them in the cradles, they automatically sync up with the system data. Cradles also recharge the batteries and can copy files onto the Symbol units.

• Operators have to log in and pick a location. The way that operators log in affects the reports.

• When scanning you can enter hints – these help you remember what you scanned.

• If a barcode is unreadable, you can enter some text and do a lookup. Matrix items are designated with an asterisk. You are then prompted to pick the exact size and color (or whatever your matrix values are).

• Submit All sends information to the server and essentially deletes it from the scanner. The transactions are actually still there; they are just marked with a different status.

• You can transfer items via these devices. Data-wise, this is exactly the same as transferring through inventory activities. The big difference is that you don’t need to run back to your office to do this – you can do it on the fly by using a Symbol unit.

• You don’t physically have to scan each and every item – you can scan an item once and put in a quantity of ten, for example.

• Unlike with the Salesware ScanMan application, your scanner doesn’t need a fixed IP address. Your wireless router can assign an address using DHCP. This simplifies making your scanner work with your wireless access point. For more information on how to configure the supported scanners to work with wireless routers and access points, see the Salesware Access Control document.

• The MC9090-G is the most sophisticated scanner and in fact resembles a portable computer. However, it is recommended that you do not use your MC9090-G for applications other than TallyMan, because too many miscellaneous applications can interfere with the successful use of TallyMan module on the unit.

• If you are using a Windows 7 or 8 operating system, you need to download the Microsoft Mobile Device Center from the Microsoft web site instead (simply search for Mobile Device Center from the Bing search box). Windows Mobile Device Center works almost exactly the same way as ActiveSync, with a few exceptions (such as how shortcuts are created on the handheld device). Because ActiveSync and the Microsoft Mobile Device Center are used simply to copy files onto handheld devices, it is easy to use the steps given for ActiveSync in this document and apply them to Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center. See the Salesware Access Control document for some specific examples of the parallel functionality between the two programs and where they differ.
