Unitech HT660 Communications

How It Works

Your Unitech HT660 has been pre-confi gured with the following application
programs:

•

Change Bin Locations

•

Receiving

•

Adjustments

•

Purchase Orders

•

Inventory Transfers

•

Physical Inventory

•

Price changes

•

Sales Orders

•

Price Label Printing

•

Restock Reporting

These programs are accessed on your HT660 by tapping the ITScriptNet
Omni Icon on your HT660’s main screen.

These programs (running under the ITScriptNet Client on the HT660) query
the General store data fi les, and send collected data, via ITScriptNet Omni
Communication Server, a communications package running on your PC.

In short, the ITScriptNet Omni Client on the Unitech HT660 talks to the
ITScriptnet Omni Communication Server on your PC, and vice versa.
