Barcodes.
If you're importing from a Winnebago Spectrum v3.x database, you'll need to
examine your barcodes to determine what they contain. For help, see What
does a barcode contain?" on page 647.
- Unless it's Follett Classic," you'll need the name of the barcode symbology
you're importing. For descriptions of the different symbologies, see page 649.
- If the barcode format includes a type indicator, you must know the alpha or
numeric character that is used. Please note that even though a symbology can
have up to six type identifiers, you must import only one identifier at a time.
- You'll need the fourĆdigit location code that identifies your library if the
barcode format includes one. If you're importing from Winnebago Spectrum
v3.x or v4.x, the location code is stored with your setup information.
S In Spectrum v3.x, from any window, select Winnebago | Setup | System.
The location code appears on the Partition tab.
S In Spectrum v4.x from any program window, select Winnebago | Setup |
Location. The location code appears on the General tab.
If you're importing from Winnebago's CIRC/CAT v6.7, you'll need to
examine your barcodes to determine the location code. For help, see What
does a barcode contain?" on page 647.
- If your barcode format includes any fill charactersĊnot including the check
digit, the last character in the barcodeĊyou must know the alpha or numeric
character that is used. Typically, the fill character is a leading zero.
Important: The barcode information you enter in the Barcode Wizard must match
the symbology you defined in System Setup (see page 39).
With this information, the Barcode Wizard can rebuild almost any barcode.
However, to make sure that the reconstructed barcodes are accurate, it is crucial
that you provide the right information. One extra character in the barcode format
can make a difference.
For example, assume that an incoming copy (holding) has the material/barcode
number
25674
. The following table shows how the Barcode Wizard will
reconstruct the barcode based on the information you provide:
