Part 2. Starting Up the Scanner

 Remove your scanner from the cradle and start PartsWizard 

• PPT Scanners

Hold all three of these buttons at the same time until your screen flashes and displays PPT8800. You may release the keys now. *Note* Hold down the yellow button on the side of the scanner, not the yellow alpha key on the front face of the scanner.
• MC55 Scanners

• Janam Scanners 
  1. Hold down the red power button, located on the left-side of the scanner at the very top, until you get the menu options for Hard Reset, Soft Reset, and Power Off. Select Soft Reset. The scanner will now reboot, and launch into PartsWizard on startup.

Part 4. Reviewing the Bin Changes Report

Open up Parts Wizard then select the Reports button on the left side bar then select Bin Changes

You will see a screen that displays the Part number, a part number change(PNC), the description of the part, the Current Bin, Bin1, Bin2, and Bin3

• Part Number: Part number scanned in
• PNC: Part number change 
• Description: Description of the part number that was scanned
• Current Bin: The old bin that the part number was previously assigned too when last downloaded
• Bin1: The new bin that the part number is assigned too after scanning.
• Bin1, Bin2, and Bin3 is for planned features for supporting multiple secondary and tertiary bin locations in the coming release in September. Do not attempt to do bin changes on parts with more than one bin location currently as to avoid losing your alternate locations entirely

The part numbers you scanned in will show up here in white, red or green.

• White means we have not attempted to post these bin changes
• Red means we attempted to post but failed due to an error
• Green means we were able to successfully upload your bin change

To get your white parts to post, click on the button that says Start Posting

On the next pop up select Bin Change Posting and then Ok

Parts Wizard will now attempt to change your bins for you. Parts that were successfully changed will show up as Green, and parts that were unsuccessful will show up as RED. 

You can right click the part numbers to receive additional options; delete and retry errors

• Delete will delete the part number entry entirely, and Parts Wizard will not attempt to post the bin change.
• Retry Errors will retry any part numbers that originally failed to post

If your parts still fail to post and keep showing up as red give support a call at [phone]
