Introduction
The LaserLite Pro, hand-held Scanner is vital to maximizing your Inventory Control system. It’s light, yet sturdy,
and easily used. The unit consists of the Scanner, the Scanner’s Cradle, and two power cords. The software you selected
is pre-loaded. The Scanner is charged and ready for use.
The list of definitions will assist you by defining terms as they relate to using the Scanner and MaintiMizer™
Maintenance System. Capitalized words are specific terms to the MaintiMizer™ system and can be found in the
definitions. When illustrations are used, bold numbers in parenthesis (0) will direct your attention to the detail in the
illustration. At the end of the step will be a reference number for the figure in bold text. (Figure 0.) (Zero is used here
only as an example. It does not refer to an illustration.)
