Open the Library Main Catalog window. In the Labels box select NEW LABELS.

Scroll down and up in the All Fields box and select the BARCODE (1) data field.

You would have to select the type of labels that have sufficient width to include all data fields.

Open the Label Type page select the type (1) that offers wide labels.

You can also create a customized label type.

Utilize the Header/Footer tab to add any additional information about the item in the report.

Use keywords in the following format:
<$FIELD:FieldName$>
In our sample the report will include title, author, call data fields
<$FIELD:TITLE$>
<$FIELD:AUTHOR$>
<$FIELD:CALL$>

Set the left margin so that the data appears to the right of the barcode.

Print the labels on plain paper. The format may not be perfect, but you will be able to scan the barcodes.

You can print the same report in a different layout, featuring 3 records per row and 5 rows on each page.

We have selected the AV 6490 15 Diskette label type, which provides 15 labels; 3 across and 5 down. This label type has sufficient height to accommodate all the data fields in the "Included Fields" box.

Please print the defined labels on plain paper.

Question:
Is it possible to print the actual bar codes in reports? How to create a report with bar codes printed. We are evaluating your software and I have a question regarding a report I designed to manage reservations. In the first column I included BARCODE, is there a way to print the actual bar code so we could use a bar code scanner with this report?

Answer:
Yes, you can print barcodes on the report using the print label feature. Later, you can scan barcodes from the report. Although the report does not offer many layout features, the most important aspect is that barcodes are available.

Question: Print patron barcodes in the report. Print a list of library patrons with their barcodes so they can be scanned when checking out patrons and their library materials.

Answer: Utilize the print label feature to create a report that includes barcodes.
