Question:
The problem that I need resolved first concerns the barcodes for patrons and materials. I have created barcodes but they are not being read by the barcode reader. (Barcodes on the books work fine when importing records from Library of Congress.) Do you have any instructions on how the barcode reader should be configured for use with your program? Also is there a way to automatically generate consecutive barcodes?
