[ISLMA-Share] Scanner issues

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Make sure you scan right on the middle of the barcode - sometimes the
scanner is placed so it can't read all the numbers. Also, place the scanner
right over the barcode.

For awhile, I had a problem with barcodes that were too close to student ID
numbers. It's a lot of work to rectify that: the DO was willing to add 1000
to the beginning of new students, but not existing ones, and I had to print
new labels for the books.

In my experience, the shorter barcode numbers cause problems where our
newer ones (6 digit) don't.

Good luck!
