How To Import ROV Batch Scans

1. Batch-Scan in a list of books:
   
   When your ROV scanner is detached from its cord, all scans that you do will be saved in its internal memory.  There is enough memory for at least 300 or so ISBN/UPC scans.
   
   Collect the scans with the ROV completely detached from its cord.  When finished scanning, plug the ROV in to the computer to upload all of the scans into whatever program you have running at the time that you plug in.
   
   BUT  you MUST HAVE a program running at the time that you "plug in" that will ACCEPT ALL THE SCANS, all at once.  As soon as you plug the ROV in, all of the scans will be sent into whatever program you have running, just as if you had madly typed them all in all at once, and then all of the scans will be PERMANENTLY ERASED from the scanner.  So be SURE that your computer is ready to receive the batch scans BEFORE you plug the scanner in.
   
   A good program to use for accepting batch scans and creating a scan list file is Windows Notepad.  (Start / Run / Notepad.)  This is because Notepad will not add any unecessary formating to the file of scans.
   
   First start the Notepad program, and THEN plug in the scanner.  All of of the scans are sent into the Notepad window, and removed from the scanner.  Then SAVE the Notepad file to some convenient location on your computer, such as the Desktop.
    

2. Load the file of ISBN's into SellerEngine:
   
   Start up SellerEngine, and click "Import / Import from File" from the SellerEngine menu. Click on "Customized", and then checkmark "Include ISBN" in the field list. Leave all of the other fields unchecked. Type in the location of the text file of ISBN's that you just created, or click on the Folder icon to navigate to the file. Then click the "Ok" button.  All of your ISBNs will be imported into SellerEngine. You can then use the SellerEngine features to look up the Amazon data for the ISBNs, including pricing information.
   
   If you would like to scan ISBNs one at a time into SellerEngine, leave your scanner plugged in, then click on "New" on the SellerEngine menu bar. A "New" item dialog will popup, with the cursor in the ISBN field. Use the scanner to scan in a barcode, and it will appear in the ISBN field for further processing by SellerEngine.
