Wireless Scanner Operation

Wireless scanners offer a very convenient way of checking people into a venue (or out) and tracking exactly who is on the premises. They are battery operated, portable and can be deployed from one entrance to another, depending on traffic or load.

They are quite easy to operate and require a few steps to get them working the first time. The general setup steps are:

1. Install the ticket scanning software and mate with the network (one time task, usually)
2. Set up the preferences to scan a particlar event for Windows Mobile MC 50 or Palm Based Symbol 1846
3. Scan the tickets as people enter and exit the venue.

Steps 1 and 2 are covered on the setup instructions for the wireless scanner. Each time you scan a new event, you will need to do step 2. Similar to the Web Scan method, this means you will need to get the event number from play & dates and the IP address of the web listener put it into the preferences for MC50 or Symbol1846

Step 3 is simply using the scanner to check people in and out of the venue. This is described in this section (assuming that all set up has occurred).

Note: Make sure that you fully charge the devices before a performance so that it has a full battery level. Nothing worse than the battery running out in the middle of admitting patrons. We have tested the device while it is in the charger cradle and it will still scan - if you need to do that.
