Important Considerations When Using this Wizard

•

SirsiDynix Symphony supports the T2090, 2410, and 9440 portable scanners by Intermec Corporation. All of these models are generically referred to as scanners, but they all have different features.

•

The t24fcopy.exe File Copy application is delivered in the client installation directory at the workstation. It uploads transactions from the T2090 and 2410 units to the workstation. Use the Scanner Upload Utility wizard to upload transactions from the Model 9440 to the workstation. Once the 9440 transactions are on the workstation, use the Scanner Transfer Utility to transfer the transaction file to the server.

•

If you loaded Model 9440 transactions, and you conducted a personal inventory (used to inventory items found in offices or other locations), do not accept the scanner.dat default. Use scanacnt.dat instead.
