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.
