Chapter 5. Operating the Library
Barcode Chksum The library supports Code 39 bar code labels, with or without a checksum digit. Configure the library for the type of bar codes you are using:
•If you are using bar codes with a checksum character, touch the + symbol to enable Barcode Chksum.
•If you are using bar codes with no checksum digit, ensure that Barcode Chksum is disabled.
•Touch Save Parms > Yes to save changes and rescan the library’s inventory.
Autoread Barcodes This option forces the library to automatically resynchronize the media inventory by reading media bar codes after every bulk load or unload media operation. If this option is disabled, the library only resynchronizes (by reading bar code information) when prompted by the host software.
•Touch the + symbol to enable Autoread Barcodes, or the - symbol to disable Autoread Barcodes.
•Touch Save Parms > Yes to save changes and rescan the library’s inventory.
