LCLoad in the File drop down menu.
LCLoad searches the folder designated in the

After the files are converted, they must be copied to the
USB Flash Memory Device and saved into DMS Delivery
to complete the transfer

CoPy FILES To USb
LCREAD
After running LCLoad, the files, now formatted for the
DMS Delivery program, can be saved to the USB Flash
Memory Device for file transfer to DMS Delivery.
To save files to the USB, insert the USB Flash Memory
Device into the computer’s USB port and click the Copy
Files to USB button in the toolbar or click Copy Files to
USb in the File drop down menu.
Safely remove the USB Flash Memory Device from the
office computer and insert into the DMS Module. Follow
the instructions in the DMS Operator’s manual (publication

CoPy FILES FRoM USb
After copying the delivery files from the USB Flash
Memory Device, LCRead converts them to an ASCII text
file for the back office software.
LCRead will convert the two files into an ASCII text file and
place them in the folder designated by the Destination for
delivery file (LCRead) field of the Source and Destination
Window (DELREAD.DAT).
To launch LCRead, simply click the
LCRead button or
click LCRead in the File drop down menu.
If the Append to LCRead text delivery file field in the
Source and Destination Window is checked, LCRead will
add new delivery records to the existing records in the
destination file. If the field is not checked, the existing
files will be overwritten.
When complete, the output file can be imported into the
back office software.
Every DMS Module is supplied with a USB Flash Memory
Device configured for immediate use.
When the drivers return with delivery data, the .trn files,
created by DMS Delivery, need to be saved to the USB
Flash Memory Device. Follow the instructions in the DMS
Operator’s manual (publication EM200-12) to retrieve
files from DMS Delivery. DMS Office can then copy the
.trn files from the USB Flash Memory Device. LCRead
can then convert the files into an ASCII file format for the
back office software.
To load delivery files onto DMS Office from the USB Flash
Memory Device, insert the USB Flash Memory Device into
the computer’s USB port and click the Copy Files from
USB button in the toolbar or choose Copy Files from
USb in the File drop down menu.
If the program is free of errors during the conversion
process, the CompTran.trn file is automatically deleted from
the file folder.
