* The Telxon PHDs do not support LabelCode IV, a Follett Classic symbology. The PHD
Laser+ also doesn't support Follett Classic LabelCode V or Generic LabelCode 5.
** If you use Generic Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes (nonĆFollett Classic), some minor modiĆ
fications to the PHD application are necessary. See the following section for instructions.
Important: To scan properly, your barcodes must include a Type Identifier
regardless of symbology. Follett Classic symbologies assume a Type
Identifier of P" for patron barcodes and a T" for library materials.
See also: For more information about the barcode symbologies supported by
Circulation Plus and Catalog Plus, see Appendix D, Barcode symbologies."
Reading Generic Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes
To enable your Telxon PHD to read the Generic Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode
symbology, you must make some modifications to the PHD application:
1. Locate these 6 files (circ*.*) in the CC40\WCOMMON or \MCOMMON
folder: CIRC.600, CIRCĆA.600, CIRCĆB.600, CIRC.932, CIRCĆA.932,
CIRCĆB.932.
2. If you have a PHD+ or PHD+ II, use the files with the .600 extension.
If you have a PHD Laser+, use the files with the .932 extension.
3. Rename CIRC.600 to CIRC.OLD or CIRC.932 to CIRC.OLD.
4. Rename CIRCĆB.600 to CIRC.600 or CIRCĆB.932 to CIRC.932.
5. In System Setup, download the application to your PHD.
Note: After downloading the application, when you press the
N
key on your
PHD, the application version number should be 1.B-B.
