Chapter 20  Taking inventory of your collection
225
The different values in Records in file"
and Records this session" show that you
are adding to an existing data file.
As you enter items, the number of records
(scans) in the data file increases, as does
the number of bytes.
Note:  We recommend that you do not ex
ceed 1500 records on a remote batch disk.
After scanning the section, press 
ESC
 to close the Barcode Entry screen, and press
ESC
 again to exit the Remote Batch Disk utility. The remote inventory data file is
stored on the remote batch disk in a file named DATA.TXT. Remember to mark
each remote batch disk with the range of call numbers it contains.
Proceed to Processing the remote inventory data file" on page 227 to process the
remote batch disk.
Mac OS workstations
Warning:  
To protect your equipment, turn off your computer before moving it
or connecting or disconnecting the scanner.
Use the following instructions to create the remote batch files and collect scans on
a Mac OS workstation:
1. On your Macintosh portable computer, open a word processing application
and create a new file.
2. The first line of the file must be 5 digits. These digits represent the number of
scans in the file. The number does not need to be exact. It is perfectly
acceptable to enter 
00000
.
Note: 
 The number entered only affects the status bar in the Remote Inventory
progress window. If you choose a large number, possibly 10000, and
enter only 500 scans, the progress bar may only show 20% completion
although the entire file has been successfully loaded.
3. The second line of the file must be 7 digits. It is the number of bytes in the
file. Again, it is acceptable to enter 
0000000
.
4. The third line must be INVENTORY. It must be uppercase.
5. The scans begin on the fourth line. They can be entered by scanning or by
typing. If typing, they must be typed as they would appear if scanned.
