Setting up your barcode symbologies
Before you can start scanning barcodes for library items or patrons or before you
start importing copies, you must inform Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus which
symbology you are using, or plan to use. There are three preparative steps:
S Select the barcode symbology you are using for patrons and library items.
S Define the barcode symbologies if other than Follett Classic.
S Test the barcode symbologies.
You don't need to define Follett Classic as your symbology. Follett Classic is
always recognized, and any barcode with seven digits or fewer is recognized as
Follett Classic. A barcode symbology with eight or more digits must be defined.
Note: Circulation Plus/Catalog Plus let you automatically assign the next highest
available barcode number to an item or a patron. For more information, see
Assigning barcodes" on page 652.
