Settings and printing
Save or cancel settings
Section titled “Save or cancel settings”Open 6 Settings. Settings are grouped under System, Devices, and Integrations. Changes to data location, printer, Quick Labels, Scan R1 configuration, and DigiKey settings are staged until Save. Cancel restores the saved values.
Printer and DigiKey tests use the staged values, so test a draft before saving it.
Printer and Quick Labels
Section titled “Printer and Quick Labels”Configure the printer under Devices → Printer. Use the printer test, then save. Stock and rack actions use this configured printer for labels.
Quick Labels is nested under Printer. It supports up to twelve shared cable-flag texts and an optional custom wire label. Add, edit, remove, reorder, or test-print presets, then save them. The paired R1 receives the saved list on its next sync.
The custom wire label can be edited and printed directly. Cable flags print normally oriented text on both folded halves, scaled to fit.
DigiKey
Section titled “DigiKey”An unconfigured DigiKey section shows Begin Setup. Enter the Client ID and Client secret in the wizard. The secret goes to Windows Credential Manager. After setup, account and regional settings and a live credential test are available.
Background operation
Section titled “Background operation”Under General / Data → Background & startup, choose whether Inventatory stays available for Scan R1 after the terminal closes. The default is Off.
When enabled, Inventatory starts for the signed-in Windows user and continues the R1 service in the notification area. The tray menu offers Open Inventatory and Quit Inventatory. Disabling the setting removes its Windows startup entry. It does not run before sign-in.
Software updates
Section titled “Software updates”Choose Settings → Updates → Check for software updates. When an update is available, choose Update to vX.Y.Z, press u, or open the same action through Actions.
The wizard previews release notes, offers to save pending settings, downloads the package, verifies published SHA-256 hashes, and hands off to the installer. Prereleases can be offered by the updater.
Cancel is available during download. After installer handoff the application closes and restarts. A failed replacement preserves the previous installation and presents a retryable error. Inventory data and normal local settings are preserved.
Auto-check for updates controls the daily background check and is staged until Save.
Scan R1
Section titled “Scan R1”Use Devices → Inventatory Scan → Begin Setup for a new device. After provisioning, the panel shows pairing controls and device status. A service-port change takes effect on the next launch. Read scanner setup before changing network access.
