Using the Follett Destiny PocketScan

The Follett Destiny PocketScan gives you real-time synchronization to your district's Destiny® Library Manager or Destiny® Resource Manager.

Get Started

The scanner's battery must be fully charged before the first use. It can be charged by connecting the USB cable to a computer.

Connect Scanner to Computer USB Port

Turn off computer's power.
Connect USB cable to computer, plug other end of cable into the PocketScan.
Turn on computer's power.

Note: The PocketScan device charges with a USB cable to computer or via a general purpose USB wall charger (not provided). Charging with a USB wall charger is faster.

Battery Charge Indicator

When the battery is charging, the small LED at the top left of the scanner flashes orange. When the battery is fully charged, this LED is solid green.

Scan Button

The PocketScan has a large scan button just forward of a smaller, programmable button.

Press the scan button to project an aiming beam. This beam should be centered over the barcode for a good read.

Corded USB PC or Macintosh Keyboard

Scan one of the following barcodes to program the corded scanner for a USB keyboard (either PC or Macintosh), then power-cycle the host.

Batch Mode

Batch mode is used to store barcode data when a scanner is out of range of its host, or when performing inventory. The scanner may store a number of symbols (approximately 500 U.P.C. symbols; others may vary) when it is out of range, and then send them to the host when back in range or when the records are manually transmitted.

Automatic Batch Mode stores barcode data when the scanner is out of range of the host. The data is automatically transmitted to the host once the scanner is back in range. When the scanner's buffer space is full, any barcodes scanned generate an error tone. To scan barcodes again, the scanner must be moved back into range of the host or Access Point so data can be transmitted.

Persistent Batch Mode is the same as Inventory Batch Mode, except that once the data is transmitted to the host, it is retained in the scanner. If you want to transmit more than once, you can do so using this mode. To clear the scanner's buffer, you must scan the Clear All Codes barcode.
