Important:
Transfer the data to Circulation Desk as soon as possible (page 176),
and then erase the scans from your PHD (page 664).
Collecting inventory, copy, or patron data
Your PHD's inventory mode lets you do much more than gather copy barcode
scans for Inventory. You can also use the inventory mode to collect patron or copy
barcodes for the PHD features in Cataloging, Patron Maintenance, and Reports.
Warning:
To avoid accidentally changing or deleting the wrong records, make
certain to erase any existing scans from inventory before you start
collecting new scans.
To collect barcode scans for any of these PHD features:
1. Turn on your PHD (see page 657). From the PHD main menu, press
I
(Inventory).
2. The SCAN BARCODE prompt appears. Scan or type each barcode you want
to enter. (After typing a barcode, press
ENTER
to save it.)
Important:
To be identified as a patron or a copy barcode, it is critical that
your barcodes contain a Type Identifier. When typing in patron
barcodes at this prompt, if you are using Follett Classic
symbologies, you must include the preceding P". If you don't,
your PHD assumes that you are entering a copy barcode.
If your library uses patron
ID s rather than a defined barcode
symbology, you can type them: Press
SHIFT
.
SHIFT
(shift, period,
shift), which generates a forward slash, and then enter the ID
number.
If you are finished with the PHD, press
D
(Exit) until you return to the PHD main
menu, and then turn off the PHD to conserve the battery charge.
