[aisle] Print your own bar code labels?

Fri Jan 22 09:30:32 CST 2021

We use Follett to process/barcode our books for us.  It's really nice to
have it done.  We do print our own barcodes for the books we don't get
through Follett.  We use the Avery 5160 labels, and print a test page to
see how it lines up.  We usually end up moving it about -5 for it to line
up.  Once we have it tuned, we will print a few hundred labels so we only
do it about once or twice a year.
