Cart-ScanTM
Cross-Reference GuideFor Printers,
Copiers, and Fax Machines
I. Welcome!
Welcome to CPR’s Cart-Scan, a state-of-the-art cross reference guide that uses our
SLRTM
(Systematic Logical Reference) search technology. Cart-Scan has intelligence. Even if you
enter misspellings, partial words, or fractions of information, Cart-Scan will find
exactly what you need.
Here is a complete guide to help you understand all of the features Cart-Scan has to offer. The information in this document can be printed or viewed on-line as you work with Cart-Scan. So, let’s get started!
II. Learning Cart-Scan’s Features
B. Keyboard Functions:
F1 Find next match in the left side list (
next to the left header
does the same).
F2 Find next match in the right side list ( next to the right header
does the same).
F3 Find next match in the currently selected list.
The Up, Down, Page Up, & Page Down keys will scroll you through the currently selected list.
The Tab and Enter keys work the same, they both switch you from input field to input field.
Highlighted Erase: if you double press either the Tab or Enter keys, it will re-highlight the input field* you are currently working in and allow you to retype without having to backspace.
*NOTE: If the input field you are currently in IS NOT highlighted, then as you type it will continue adding letters onto what was previously typed. If the input field IS highlighted, then the new letters will replace what you had.
C. Intelligence Capabilities: Whatever you may be typing, Cart-Scan will search, even if you use:
Alternative Referencing: type the word "PLUS" and it will find the "+" sign.
Spaces and Dashes: are ignored. "4V", "4-V", & "4 V" are all the same.
Text Sequences: out of sequence text is ignored, "4 LaserJet" is the same as "LaserJet4".
Partial Spellings: instead of typing out Hewlett Packard, LaserJet III D it can be shortened to "HP", "3D".
Experiment and see the minimum key information you have to give Cart-Scan for it to find what you need.
III. Searching in Cart-Scan
| Search Selector
|
Cart-Scan is equipped with three different search methods. You can search by manufacturer, engine, or by part numbers. The manufacturer search mode will tell you the engine design of a model made by the manufacturer you have selected. If you want to see machines that have a specific engine design, then you would use the engine search mode. Use the part number search mode when your customers place their orders by part numbers. See which manufacturer's part number it is and the engine(s) it is related to. Let’s learn these search features! |
A. Search By Manufacturer Example: Click on the Manufacturer button
. The left header will say
Manufacturer and the right header will say Model.
Make sure your cursor is located under the Manufacturer header.
Type the word "BELL", Bell & Howell will be located, but suppose you wanted Packard Bell? Just press the F1 key and Packard Bell will be located. (See "Keyboard Functions" for other shortcuts when searching.)
Now that we have located the manufacturer, press Tab to move into the right input field. This is under the Model header. Type "83" and Cart-Scan will find the model: "PB 83 PS".
Notice that both of the lists are highlighting with what Cart-Scan feels you are looking for and the information panel provides specific information such as:
| l | The Manufacturer and Model. |
| l | The type of engine design. |
| l | Specific information about the engine design including: if you sell it, the design type of the engine, if its supply unit(s) can be rebuilt, and any additional notes you have entered for the engine style. |
| l | Your custom notes related to this engine style. |
| l | If you have entered products related
to the selected engine style, the  will be enabled. Press this button to see your listed products. |
| l | If there are any parts related to
the selected engine style, the  will be enabled. Press this button to see industry part
numbers. |
B. Search By Engine Example: Click on the Engine button 
. The left header will say Engine
and the right header will say Manufacturer/Model. Make sure your
cursor is located under the Engine header.
Suppose you want to find who uses the "Canon LBP-EX" engine. Start by typing an "E" and Cart-Scan will highlight "Canon BJ-10 E". Now, type an "X" and
"Canon LBP-EX" is highlighted. The right list shows you every model that uses that engine.
C. Search By Part Number Example: Click on the Part Number button 
. The left header will say
Part Number. Simply type in the part number and see whose part
it is.
Supposing you have customers who order by part number. Start by typing the series of numbers/letters. Try typing: "13 R 9". Cart-Scan automatically highlights that part number and displays the engine information telling you that this is the "Xerox 5018" engine style.
D. Other Search Features:
Auto Scan Button: This button is visible when you are in search by manufacturer
mode and information is entered in the right input field. Press this button to scan
the manufacturers for models that match what is typed in the right input field.
Cart-Scan will stop each time it has found a mach. Press the button again to find
the next match.
Auto Switch Button: When this button is selected, Cart-Scan will automatically
switch between the manufacturer, engine, and part # search modes, based on
Cart-Scan’s interpretation of what you type in the left input field.
Cross Ref Button: When Cart-Scan is in search by manufacturer mode and both a
manufacturer and model are highlighted, this button, when pressed, will cross-reference to
a list of all manufacturers and their models that use the currently displayed
engine.
Switch To Button: When Cart-Scan is in search by engine
mode and both a engine and model are highlighted, this button, when pressed, will switch
to a list of all the models of the currently displayed manufacturer.
Cross Ref/Switch To Example: Click
on . The left header will say
Manufacturer and the right header will say Model.
Make sure your cursor is located under the Manufacturer header.
Type "HP" in the left input field and "5L" in the right
input field. This will highlight "Hewlett Packard (HP)" in the left
list and "LaserJet 5 L" in the right list. If you have selected to
show the button hints (see Setting Display Information) move
the mouse onto , the hint will read: "Shows
all Canon LBP-AX based models". Next, click on . This will highlight "Canon LBP-AX" in the left
list and "LaserJet 5 L" in the right list. Now your right list contains
all models with a Cannon LBP-AX engine style.
Now place the mouse on and the hint will read: "Shows all of Hewlett Packard
(HP)’s models". Pressing this button will switch search modes again.
The Manufacturer list will have "Hewlett Packard (HP)" highlighted
and "LaserJet 5 L" will be highlighted in the right list.
IV. Displaying Information In Cart-Scan
Variation Warning
This appears as a light to the left of the engine on the main screen. When an engine is
selected and there is sufficient information in the Cart-Scan database about that engine,
the light will change from green to yellow to red depending upon the variation potential
of that engine. If you have indicated you do not sell products for the selected engine,
the variation light will be red. If the light is yellow or red, the reason(s) will have a
color light preceding it in the engine note section.
