Inventory Step By Step
 * 1) Unplug the Panther (handheld scanner) from the outlet behind the refrigerator in the office. Also unplug the cord from the Panther.
 * 2) Start Panther by clicking on the green //Scan// button under the screen. At any point, if you put the Panther down, you can tap the Scan button to wake it up.
 * 3) Use the stylus tucked on the back of the unit to double-click on the //Internet Explorer// icon on the screen.
 * 4) The home page should be set to Destiny and ask you to choose the school. If not:
 * It is also set in the favorites. Use the stylus to chose Favorites from the menu at the top of the screen.
 * There is a keyboard panel you can bring up by tapping the box with the red stylus on the task bar at the bottom of the screen (second from right), then tap the word //Keyboard.// Use this if you need to type in the address (see next bullet for address.
 * Otherwise you will have to type in: **destiny.pewaukee.k12.wi.us.** If you use the keypad on the unit instead of the on-screen keyboard it is like texting - you might have to tap a key more than once to get the letters you want. To get numbers, hold down the blue button on the bottom of the unit (under the 0) then tap the key with the number you need.
 * 1) Use the stylus to choose Horizon School from the drop-down menu. Then click OK, then yes, if prompted.
 * 2) Now you will have to enter the username and password (both "volunteer").
 * 3) Choose __Inventory__ from the list that comes up on the screen.
 * 4) It will ask you to choose the Inventory from a drop-down list. It should be set on Spring2012, so just click OK. //**Be sure to replace the stylus on the back of the unit or it will get lost. They are expensive to replace.**//
 * 5) Now you can start scanning books. Just remember to scan the books in order as they appear on the shelves.
 * First, "read" the shelf. Make sure that everything on that shelf is in the correct order and that there are no books tucked behind.
 * Aim the top of the unit at the barcode.
 * Push Scan. You will see the corners of a red box outlined with a + in the middle. Try to get the barcode in the space of that box.
 * You will hear the normal "OK" sound.
 * Check that the title of the book you have scanned matches the title listed on the screen. If the keyboard is in the way, just tap the keyboard icon on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (second from right) and choose //Hide Input Panel.//
 * I//f you are not sure if something has scanned, it won't hurt anything to scan it again.//
 * Scan the next book. Be careful not to skip a book. It is a good idea to keep a choosing stick with you to mark where you left off in case you are interupted.
 * As you finish for the day, try to stop at the end of a shelf, not in the middle. **//Be sure to keep track of where you leave off so the next person knows where to start.//**
 * 1) When you are ready to go for the day, use the stylus to tap the X at the top right of the screen. **//Replace the stylus in the back of the unit.//**
 * 2) Hold down the blue button at the bottom of the keypad, then tap the white button with the sun on it (just left of the blue button). The screen should go off. The blue button is like a shift key for this operation.
 * 3) Be sure to plug the unit in using the cord next to the refrigerator so it is charged for the next user.
