Once the host computer receives the data from the PTC, it uses that data to update its master files and records. In some cases, the host computer may even transmit data back to the PTC, asking you, as the PTC’s operator, to perform a new task. © Models This manual covers the three optical models of the PTC-860: PTC-860, PTC-860ES, and PTC-860NI. These three models are similar but have the following differences: • The PTC-860 has a wand port (used to connect bar-code readers) on its side. • The P
