Edit Barcode Page Template
The application includes several features that let you design and print
barcode labels for use in item and patron tracking. Before printing labels,
you must design templates for both the full page of labels, and for each
individual label on the page. The design of page templates is performed
through the Edit Barcode Page Template form. To access this form, click
the Page Templates button on the
Administration panel of the Main form. You design labels for each page
template through the Edit Barcode Label Template
form. Printing is done through the Print Barcode
Labels form.
The Edit Barcode Page Template form is actually two forms, a "parent"
form (the List Maintenance Codes form)
that lists all existing templates, and a "child" form that lets
you add a new item or edit the properties of a single item in the list.
To define a template on the child form, fill in the data fields on the
left side of the form, confirm the look of the template in the Page Preview
field on the right side of the form, and then click the
OK button to save the template.
The Edit Barcode Page Template form includes the following data fields.
- Template Name
- Supply a unique name for this template.
- Measurement
- Select the measurement system to be used in the design of the page template.
You may select the system that you find most convenient; the output will
be the same no matter what system is selected. The valid measurements

is 1/72 of an inch. One "twip" (a twentieth of a point) is 1/1440
of an inch.
