Description of the Motorola/Symbol MC50/MC55/MC55A/MC5590 Buttons
Theatre Manager supports the MC50, MC55, MC55A or
similar wireless scanner for optimum tracking of people entering and leaving a venue. The device looks like the picture above.
It has some important buttons that you will need to know to operate the scanner:
- The most important is the yellow 'scan' buttons. They are at both sides of the device at the top. You can use whichever one you want to achieve the scan as they are interchangeable.
- When using the Theatre Manager 'AMS Ticket' program, all functions are accessed by clicking on the touch sensitive screen using the stylus or your finger.
- There is an orange button at the bottom left of the keyboard. This is the numlock button. Pressing it once allows entry of a number. Pressing it twice turns on num-lock. Pressing it again, turns the keyboard back to alpha. It
will be very handy when entering information to set up the device.
