choose Modify | Selected Object. From the Modify Selected Text Object
dialog, select the Font tab. If the text field is too large to fit on the label,
reduce the font sizeĊpoint size 9 will probably work best, but you can
experiment with different font sizes and typefaces.

print on the label, in the Screen Data text field, and set the Data Source option
to Screen Data. After completing your text modifications, click OK.
You may need to reposition the text on the label. If necessary, you can go back to
the Modify Selected Text Object dialog and make additional changes.
Printing sequential barcode labels
1. After completing your setup, from The Bar Tender main menu, choose File |
Print, or choose the Print icon from the toolbar. The Print dialog appears. To
define the desired printer and paper source, click on Printer Setup. If you are
printing one page at a time, it may be easier to set the source to manual feed.
To save your printer setup, click OK.
2. If you are printing a sequential list, make sure the Use Input Data File check
box is not selected. Define the range of the labels you want to print by setting
the Identical Copies of Label to
1
and the Number of Serialized Labels to
30
.
3. To begin printing labels, click Print.
Saving sequential barcode setup
After printing sequential barcode labels, you will want to save your setup. If you
use this file the next time you print sequential labels, The Bar Tender will start
with the number at which it left off.
To save this label setup, from The Bar Tender main menu, choose File | Save, or
choose the Save icon from the toolbar. Save the file with a name you will
remember (e.g., TITLE.BTW or CODE39.BTW).
Printing patron barcode labels
Since some of the setup options for the patron barcode labels are the same as the
setup for sequential barcode labels, you can use the file you just created as a basis
for your new setup.
1. Open the file you saved in Saving sequential barcode setup." From The Bar
Tender main menu, select File | Save As and create a new file name, such as
PATRONS.BTW.
2. To modify the barcode, double-click on the barcode or choose Modify |
Selected Object. From the Modify Selected Bar Code Object dialog, select the
Data Source tab. Set the Data Source option to Input File Data and set the Use
Data Field # to
1
. After verifying that the Serialize check box isn't selected,
click OK.
