Weeding
Weeding mode allows you to find items from shelves that do not belong to a list –such as misplaced
books on wrong shelves. Basic operation is the same as collecting. First, select the list of items using the
Manager application and upload the list to the device.
In the device, start the weeding mode by pressing the Weed button on the main menu screen. You
should now see the list of items that belong to the shelf in the device.
Adjust and place the antenna of the device close to the books and press the trigger button to start the
weeding process. A yellow light will flash in the device to indicate that it is active, reading RFID tags.
Swipe the device across the shelves. The device will indicate with a sound and / or flashing lights that it
has discovered and item not on your list and display the item information on screen.
Remove the incorrect item from the shelf and press the trigger button to continue weeding.
When finished, press the trigger button again to stop the weeding.
Inventory
Inventory mode allows you to make an inventory of all items. In Inventory mode the device simply reads
all RFID tags it finds and adds the items to the list.
To start, select Inventory from the main menu screen. If you have previous inventory items in your list,
you can delete them with the Delete all button at the bottom of the list.
Start the reading by pressing the trigger button. The device will flash a yellow light to indicate that it is in
reading mode.
As you drag the device through the shelves, the items are not immediately added to the list. Instead, the
number of scanned items increases at the bottom.
When you have finished, press the trigger button again. The list display will update itself and show all
items it has found.
If the device is connected to LibAssist Manager, the list of items will automatically be shown in the
Manager application.
AFI Search
AFI search allows you to search items with AFI activated or deactivated and activate/deactivate AFI for
the found items. Clicking the AFI Search –button in the main menu (shown on the left), you will be shown
the AFI search options (shown in the middle).
If you wish to let LibAssist try to activate/deactivate AFI automatically when it finds a matching item,
check the Set AFI immediately –box. Then click on the search button corresponding to the AFI value
LibAssist should be looking for (Search AFI activated or Search AFI deactivated). Back –button takes you
back to the main menu.
