Preparing for Ad Set
There are many things to do to make sure Ad Set goes smoothly.
The price tag scanners need to be checked, making sure the tag
printer is working correctly and loaded with tags, and that the
store has all of the product shippers ready to be put on the floor.

Telxon Checks and Log-In
Telxons are the gun-shaped scanners that we use for many
operations in our stores. The operation we will be using for Ad
Set will be price checking. They can be temperamental, so you
need to be patient with them. This is why we check them before
using them during Ad Set.
Ad Set Preparations

Logging into the Telxon
First, you will put in a newly charged battery into the Telxon,
and then turn it on. It usually takes a minute to get to the Log-In
screen.


Log in using your employee number and password
Click Ad Set Operations
Click Price Audit
Check to see if the scanner is working (red laser is turning
on when pressing the trigger)
If you are having trouble with the Telxon, you should ask your
manager for some help, or simply turn it off to reset it. After
that, you just repeat the previous steps.

Printer System and Product Shippers
This part is simple as well. The printer used for printing the
price tags is found in the store’s warehouse. The printing system
is linked up to the system the telxon uses. Every price tag that
changes is sent to the printer. The printer has five slots for the
different tags that will be printed. There are only two things to
check:
 Look for error codes
 Reset printer if error codes appear
 Load the correct tags in there slots for printing
Product shippers are found near the printer in the warehouse.
They come with their own instructions for putting it together,
and they also come with products to be sold. You just follow the
instructions, and place the shipper in the location in the store
that is specified in the instructions.

Now, you are ready to begin Ad Set. Your team members and
you should decide on what areas of the store each of will scan.
The next section of this manual will go over the scanning and
tag replacing process.

Ad Set Procedures
Procedure for Ad Set
Ad Set needs to be accurately worked to ensure that the store
does not lose money due to mispriced tags. You need to make
sure to scan every tag, and replace all incorrectly priced tags.
Also, the shippers and ad promotions need to be put out
according to their instructions.

Scanning and Replacing Tags
There is a simple way that we use to scan tags, so that replacing
them afterward is quick.





Scan from left to right
Scan in four ft. sections
Scan from top to bottom
Turn all mispriced tags
Dispose of the old tags
All employees doing ad set scan this way. It makes it easier for
each of you to help complete your sections before the store
opens. Turning the tags helps each other know which tags need
to be replaced.
Ad Set Procedures

Ad Promotions and Product Shippers
The managers will print out the instructions for placements of ad
promotions and product shippers. You follow these steps:
 Read instructions for the ad promos and shippers
 Take down old promos and shippers
 Put up the new shippers and promos in the sections
according to their instructions.
 Make sure to clean up any mess from building the shippers

Clean-up and Section Check
This section is just to make sure that Ad Set was done correctly.
The managers will walk each employees section, and you
correct any mistakes in sections. Before you leave, you make
sure that the store is clean and ready for a day of good sales.
When that is done, Ad set has been completed. Good Job!
