How to Scan Downtime Codes using Barcode Scanner

Background

This article provides steps for scanning downtime codes using the barcode scanner attached to Bitscan devices.

Before you begin

• You have logged on to/logged off from the Bitscan Scanner. See our article, How to Start and End Shift on the Bitscan Scanner for more.
• You have the barcodes for the downtime scanning. Downtime codes can be accessed and printed from Elda Reporting.
  

Steps to follow

1. Scan one of the downtime codes and enter the downtime duration.
   
   
   
2. Enter the downtime duration by scanning the corresponding numbers in minutes. For example, for a downtime of 10 minutes, scan the barcodes for 1 and 0.  Then scan the barcode for OK.
   
   
   

   Note: Each code has a default time and maximum time.

   • If the operator doesn't enter the minutes, then default time is used.
   • Operator cannot enter a downtime more than the max time for the downtime code
     
     A message appears that the downtime has been noted.
