Sounds
The following table describes the reasons that sounds might occur when you scan
or type a barcode in Circulation Desk. These sound events are defined in System
Setup and are intended to help you monitor transactions without having to keep
your eyes constantly focused on your computer screen. More than one of these
sounds can occur when you scan a barcode. For information about setting up
sounds for Circulation Desk, see Setting up alert sounds (and more) for your
circulation desk" on page 88.
Note: If your Circulation Desk workstation does not have a sound card, you
cannot define sounds for these events. However, even if you do not have a
sound card, there are default sounds associated with these events that are
emitted by your system speaker.
