Overview of the PTC-960L
4
The Telxon PTC-960L is a compact, battery-powered,
hand-held computer used to collect, store, and
transmit data. It has a built-in laser scanner that is
angled at approximately 20
°
to allow you to view the
display for prompts while scanning.
The PTC-960L automates your data collection
procedures and is custom programmed to efficiently
handle your organization’s unique data collection
applications.
The PTC runs an application program specially
designed to collect data for your organization. This
program leads you through the application with a
series of display messages, prompts, and beeps.
Messages tell you when you make an error and
provide information on the application or the PTC’s
status. Prompts and beeps tell you when to enter
data, what type of data to enter, and when you
complete certain operations.
Entering data
Entering data into the PTC-960L is easy. You can key
in data through the keyboard or scan bar codes with
the internal laser scanner.
Through the keyboard
Entering data through the keyboard is similar to
operating a calculator. When you press a key on the
PTC’s keyboard, the corresponding number or letter
appears on the display. Pressing the ENTER key
stores the data in the PTC’s memory.
