Chapter 8• Questions and Answers
What version of Excel do I need?
KwikCount RF requires Excel 2000 or later.
How should my Excel Item List be formatted?
Doesn't matter unless you are using the Lookup feature which requires data
for each record to be in the same row of cells.
How do I set up "Item IDs" in my Excel Item List?
Item IDs should be arranged in a column in your worksheet. The actual Item
ID data should match data recorded in bar codes on your inventory labels.
Does KwikCount RF automatically update my Excel Item List?
Yes. KwikCount RF will write to specified "Item Quantity" column in your
spreadsheet (Item ID column is used as an "lookup index"). If original data
is in the Quantity column, it will be overwritten by a new quantity calculated
by KwikCount RF.
How does KwikCount RF work?
KwikCount RF is a standard Excel Add-In that uses a custom COM
Automation component to interface with the RF Terminal.
What parts of my Excel data (company inventory worksheet) are impor-
tant to KwikCount RF?
KwikCount RF relies on data included in user-specified ranges in your Excel
worksheet. In particular two ranges: One for Item Identifiers (or Item
Number) and one for Item Quantity.
How about printing bar code labels?
KwikCount RF does not make bar code labels. You must use a separate
application such as Worth Data's LabelRIGHT printing program.
Where can I get label stock?
Worth Data offers 5 sizes of polyester label stock for laser printers. These
are the labels recommended for printing shelf labels as they are extremely
durable, have a strong adhesive and laser toner bonds extremely well with
this particular polyester label stock. Since polyester label stock is relatively
expensive, we recommend Avery paper labels for printing individual item
labels since durability is generally not an issue. Although, if you are labeling
items where the bar code label must be durable, waterproof, and be affixed
permanently, use polyester label stock.
