Uses Type Identifier Char

acters

To have a position in your barcodes to distinguish between patrons

and library materials, select this check box.

This position ensures that you do not accidentally scan a patron

number instead of a library material number, which could cause

you to check out a copy instead of scanning a new patron. This can

only happen if you use the same symbology for both.

Important: If you plan to use a PHD, you must check this box. Enter

the Type Identifier Characters for your symbology in the next field.

One of This field does not accept entries unless you selected the Uses Type

Identifier Characters check box. You can use up to six separate

alpha or numeric uppercase characters (one in each box).

Defaults: 2=patrons, 3=library materials

Note: Patron and library item barcodes cannot have the same

identifier characters.

Uses a Location Code To use positions in your barcodes to identify your location, select

this check box. For more information, see Location Code: Posi

tion" below.

Type Identifier: Position The position in the barcode where the type identification character

is located.

Type Identifier: Length The number of digits in the type identifier. This can be either zero

or one, depending on the symbology.

Location Code: Position The location code is typically 4-5 characters and helps identify all

the titles that belong to your library. Sites considering participation

in interlibrary loaning will want to use a location code. Make sure

your location code is unique from the other libraries in your dis

trict or other interlibrary loan entities.

If you do not check the Uses Type Identifier Characters check box,

the Location Code must be in position 1.

Location Code: Length Number of digits in the location code, up to 8.

Item Number: Position The position in the barcode where the item number data begins.

Item Number: Length The number of digits in the item number, up to 14.

Check Digit: Position The position in the barcode where the check digit is located. This

field is initially None. It changes to Last if the selected symbology

is neither Generic nor Follett Classic.
