When you define a barcode symbology, you tell Circulation Desk, Cataloging,

and Patron Maintenance:

If a component, such as the location code, exists in the symbology your site

uses.

before saving

You cannot edit the definition of

the Follett Classic symbology.

If you select Follett Classic, the

grayed information does not corĆ

definition, but rather the default

definition for a nonĆFollett ClasĆ

ogy.

For nonĆFollett Classic symboloĆ

gies, you must specify the beĆ

ginning position and the length

of each component. Refer to the

barcode image on page 647 for

a visual example.

To obtain specific information about your barcode symbology, please
