Why:This is where a serial is born into the system and starts moving through stations — scan the wrong station or wrong serial here and every downstream count and yield goes out of sync.
Confirm the locked station/action shown on screen (usually already set when opened from the main menu).
Scan or enter the operator ID.
Charge Out: scan the tray serial number — this starts a new production cycle for it.
Molding In: scan the charge kit serial; the system matches it to a machine and shot.
If there's floor scrap (Zone 1-4, etc.), select the matching reason before submitting.
After submitting, the serial moves to the next station. If you scanned wrong, use the Revert page — don't fix it through Data Edit.
