Create a List of Barcode Numbers

You can use any of the following methods of barcode collection, as long as it produces the correct ASCII text format. For example, you could use Notepad or SimpleText.

• Use Follett Remote, a small single-user application, to create the file.
  • For workstations, Follett Remote is available for download from online Help.
  • Follett Panther has Follett Remote installed. Just tap Follett Remote on the Panther's desktop.

• Use PHD Dolphin+ to create a file of barcode scans. Then, transfer the scan file to your workstation.
• Use a text editor, such as Notepad or Simple Text, to add barcodes in one of the following ways:
  • Scan barcodes with circulation desk scanner.
  • Type in each barcode number.

    Note: Do not use Microsoft Word, Excel, WordPad or Apple TextEdit to create or edit the file. Hidden characters created by these programs can cause the upload to fail.

To create the file with a text editor:

1. Open an ASCII text editor.

   Note: The file does not need a header.

2. Scan or type in the barcode numbers.

   Note: There can only be one barcode per line. If you type the barcode numbers, press Enter after each entry.

3. Name and save the file as a .txt file.
4. Write down the name and location of the file.

When you have finished the list of barcodes, name and save the text file. When the list is complete, upload the file to Destiny.
