Select the file "invent.txt" and copy this to a location on your computer.

Difficulty Communicating with Datalogic Device (Enterprise Reset)

If you are unable to access the Datalogic DL-AXIST Device on the computer when connected to the computer then you may need to restore it to the Manufacturer settings. Be sure to test different USB ports, restart the device and try a different USB connection cable before pursuing this option.

Navigate to the Settings on the Datalogic scanner.

Swipe your finger up or down to scroll through the settings options available. Select the "Backup & reset" option once displayed.

Choose the option for "Enterprise reset" to return the device to the manufacturer's default state. Make sure you DO NOT choose the option for "Factory data reset" as this will erase needed tools on the device that were installed by the manufacturer.

//NOTE: This will erase all files including scanned inventory lists from the scanner****
