Uploading Sku List File to Scanner
Before you begin counting inventory with a handheld scanner, you must first upload your SKU list in order for the machine to recognize the SKUs you are scanning and associate the numbers with your product descriptions.
If you cannot upload the sku list to the scanner you can manually transfer the skulist.txt file to the scanner device. Click on the 
button to generate the needed file in the sub folder "Count" in the AmberPOS software folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Pacific Amber\AmberPOS\Count).
Using the file explorer navigate to the file location and copy the skulist.txt file
Connect the scanner to the computer and select it from your computer's file explorer. Open the Internal storage on the scanner.

Paste the skulist.txt into the Internal storage.

Paste the skulist.txt into the Internal storage.
Now that your Sku List has been uploaded to the scanner you may begin counting inventory!
