Appendix G The Bar Tender
The Bar Tender for Windows can be used to replace missing or damaged barcode
labels and to print patron barcode labels. After installing The Bar Tender with the
instructions in The Bar Tender for Windows reference manual, the following
information will help you define the page layout and barcode information, print
sequential barcodes, and print patron barcode labels.
Setting up The Bar Tender
Before you can print barcodes with The Bar Tender, you need to define the layout
of your label stock and decide what information should appear on the labels.
Specifying the label stock layout
From The Bar Tender main menu, choose File | Page Setup, or choose the Page
Setup icon from the toolbar. The Page Setup dialog appears. Define your label
stock's paper size, orientation, margins, and labels. The labels in the Preview
group box change to reflect your definition. Click OK.

Editing the barcode label contents
To add a barcode to your label, from The Bar Tender main menu, choose Create |
Bar Code, or choose the Create Bar Code icon from the toolbar. Click in the label
viewing area of the main window. A barcode appears on the label. Reposition the
barcode, if necessary, so that it is centered on the label.
Note:
If you want to add the library name to the label, move the barcode toward
the bottom portion of the label.
