S If you select the Avery Patron ID Card (05361) template, select the Print
Patron Pictures check box if you have pictures in your patron records and
you want them on the cards.
S To include a scannable barcode on the card, select the Print Barcodes check
box and then the Barcode or ID field. If you choose ID, the scannable
barcodes include the forward slash (/) so that you can scan them in
Circulation Desk. (Scannable barcodes are not available for pinfeed printers.)
Reports retrieves the number from the Patron Barcode or ID field and your
barcode symbology from System Setup | Site | Barcodes | Patrons. If your
symbology is Code 39 (generic, or Mod 10, 11, or 43) or Codabar (generic or
Mod 10), the barcodes print in that symbology. If your symbology is anything
else, the barcodes print in the Code 39 symbology. Even though the
symbology may be different, your scanner and PHD can read the barcodes.
Important: If Circulation Plus is installed on a server and not on your
workstation, make sure you have barcode fonts installed on your
workstation. If you do not, follow the instructions on page 568 to
install them from our CD.
S Limits: You can limit the card printing to those for certain patrons:
For specific patron types, click Patron Types (see page 493).
For patrons with a specific status, select the one you want.
For patrons with certain graduation years or library card expiration dates,
select the Only Patrons With check box, choose Graduation Year or Card
Expiration Date, and enter the desired range of years or expiration dates.
After selecting your report options, click Print.
Important: If you choose to include a scannable barcode, please note that they
require a laser, not an inkjet, printer.
The first time you print patron cards with scannable barcodes, print a few tests
and make sure that your scanner and PHD can read the barcodes. The quality of
the printout varies from printer to printer; some older printers cannot produce
scanner-readable barcodes. In addition, the type of scanner and the maximum
width of its laser beam affect its ability to read the barcodes.
