A scanning apparatus whose construction may vary depending upon they type of garment tagging system utilized by a given retail drycleaner reads tags through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) scanning, Bar Code scanning, or Radio Frequency (RF) means, and manual error correcting input is also facilitated. A large inventory of garments assembled into unique orders by customer., each “group” having at least one garment. The software collects information relating to “promised day,” “piece count”, “tag color” “striped or non-striped”, and “tag style” for operator display.
