Deleting copies with a PHD

This option removes copies from your database (for example, the books you're

weeding from the collection).

Warning:  

All deletions are immediate. You cannot undo them by canceling the

process. Copies are deleted even if they're checked out, on hold, at

the bindery, or missing. The data cannot be recovered. Remember to

erase any previous scans in your PHD so that no copies are

unintentionally deleted. To erase scans from a PHD+, PHD+ II, or

PHD Laser+, see page 664. For a PHD Dolphin+, see page 679.

1. With your PHD, scan the barcodes of the copies you want to delete. When

you finish collecting scans, connect your PHD to your computer.
To make sure you've scanned the correct barcodes, generate a list of the

copies stored in your PHD before deleting them.

 For instructions on collecting copy scans with the PHD+, PHD+ II,

or PHD Laser+, see Collecting inventory, copy, or patron data" on page 663.

To collect copy scans with a PHD Dolphin+, see page 677. To generate a Title

List, see page 525.

2. From Cataloging's main window, choose Edit | Delete Copies via PHD. The

following dialog appears. Decide whether you want to delete the title when

its last copy is deleted. (If you selected the Delete Title When Last Copy is

Deleted check box in System Setup, this check box is selected and disabled.)

To avoid ending up with

titles in your database that

have no copies attached to

them, check this box.

To change the transfer

settings, click Edit.

Select the PHD model

you're using.

These instructions change based on the PHD you choose.

Warning:  To protect your equipment, make sure you turn off your PHD and computer before connecting or disconnecting the PHD.

3. Select the PHD model you're using. If you don't need to change the transfer

settings, skip to step 4. Otherwise, choose Edit, set the port and speed for

your PHD, and click Save.

4. Once you've selected the correct PHD model and adjusted the PHD settings

as desired, simply follow the instructions displayed on the dialog. 

When you click Delete, a confirmation message appears. To continue click
