The name of the item scanned is at the top of the menu in Figure 3.  Frij ID knows the name of the item because there is already an item with this barcode contained in one or more of your freezers.


If you select Add item to a freezer and you have only one freezer, then Frij ID will add the item to the freezer.  If you select Add item to a freezer and you have more than one freezer, then Frij ID will allow you to choose which freezer to add the item to, as shown in Figure 4.  Note that Figure 4 indicates how many items of the type scanned are in each freezer.  To add the item to a freezer, just tap on the desired freezer in Figure 4.

Case 2: There is at least one item in your freezer(s) with the same barcode as the one just scanned


Case 2 will occur if you scan the barcode of an item that already exists in one or more of your freezers.  In this case, Frij ID presents the menu shown in Figure 3 below.

Case 1: There are no items in your freezer(s) with the same barcode as the one just scanned


Shortly after the camera scans the barcode you will be presented with the Enter Item Information screen in Figure 2.

Once you have prepared Frij ID for scanning (see Preparing to Scan Items) you will be able add items to your freezers by scanning their barcodes. Frij ID can scan barcodes adhering to the EAN-8, EAN-13, or UPC-E barcode standards.


To scan a barcode, press the Add and Remove Items by Scanning button on the Frij ID main screen.  The screen in Figure 1 will be displayed.  Position the barcode approximately in the location of the green square and wait a few seconds for the camera to focus on the barcode.  After the camera focuses on the barcode and scans it, one of two things will occur, depending upon whether or not there are already items in the freezer with the same barcode as the one just scanned.
