SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction The Hobart Information Tracker (H.I.T.) records various

pricing and inventory data in a supermarket environment

and aides in reducing shrink (spoilage, markdowns, etc.) by

capturing and storing information that can be transferred to

a server computer.

When you have Hobart’s Data GateWeigh communications

software running in the server computer, the data

transferred from H.I.T. is stored in a CSV (comma separated

value or comma delimited) file that can be manipulated by

most mainstream database and spreadsheet applications.

In order to use H.I.T. to capture this data you must have a

handheld scanner; you also need a printer for markdowns.

For a list of the currently supported scanners and printers

contact your Hobart representative. For information on the

printer and scanner, refer to the appropriate manufacturer’s

manual.

You can perform the following functions on the system:

♦ Set up user logon and operating parameters.

♦ Capture and store data.

• Price markdown data by UPC

• Product discard (shrink) data by UPC

• Promotional data by UPC

• Inventory data by UPC

• Conversion or product transfer data by UPC

♦ Transfer data to a server computer (upload). This can be

performed via a serial cable or through a TCP/IP

wireless network.

♦ View and modify data in spreadsheet format (CSV) once

it is transferred from the scanner.

Hobart Information Tracker

Getting Started If at any time while you are using the scanner the screen is

blank, PRESS [ON/OFF] or PRESS the scan trigger on the

handle to view the screen that you were using. The screen no

longer displays after the scanner is inactive for approximately

1 minute.

Installing the System To install the H.I.T. application onto your scanner you must

do the following:

1. Load the system files onto your PC.

2. Power up the scanner for system installation.

3. Flash the ROM image onto the scanner.

4. Transfer the H.I.T. application to the scanner.

Loading the System Files

Onto Your PC

The H.I.T. application is part of the CD-ROM distribution

you have purchased. You must install this software onto your

PC before you can proceed to use the H.I.T. application in

your scanner. Follow the installation instructions provided in

the installation sheet that accompanies your CD-ROM. The

H.I.T. system files will be located in the “hit” subdirectory of

your installation directory and will be accessible through the

Programs Menu of your Windows desktop.
