04/04 224 Inventory
To make disks for use on the portable computer, the program files must be copied
onto them. Use the following steps to create as many remote batch disks as you'll
need to inventory your collection. We recommend that you do not exceed 1500
scans on any one remote batch disk.
1. Insert a blank, formatted, highdensity disk into the floppy drive of a
Circulation Plus workstation. From the Windows Desktop, doubleclick the
My Computer icon. The My Computer dialog appears.
2. From the My Computer dialog, locate and open the
FOLLETT\CC40\WCIRC folder. (The default location is C:\Program Files.)
3. Copy the following two files from WCIRC to each floppy disk:
RMTBAT.EXE, RMTBAT.HLP.
4. Close the My Computer dialog.
Note:
Remember to label your remote batch disks.
With the portable computer turned off, move it to the section you'll be scanning
and connect the scanner. Turn the computer on. After it boots up, insert the
floppy disk made with the above directions. From the Windows Desktop,
doubleclick the My Computer icon. Then doubleclick the 3 1/2 Floppy icon,
and then doubleclick RMTBAT.EXE. The Remote Batch Disk utility will start.
Warning:
To protect your equipment, turn off your computer before moving it
or connecting or disconnecting the scanner.
