CHECK OUT CATALOGUE ITEMS USING SCANNER

This is a core process within Baslogue^®. This is where you checkout one or more items to a person, as quickly as possible, and with the use of barcodes.

There are other ways of checking out an item - refer to Checking Out a Catalogue Item for further details. The method described below is specifically for use with barcodes.

It is highly recommended that you first print out the Cheat Sheet. The left-hand side of the cheat sheet contains the steps that you will find below.

By using the Cheat Sheet it is possible to perform the entire check-out process using the barcode scanner only.

This feature is not available if you are currently running the Standalone Edition under the Catalogue Browser role.

STEP 1

Begin at the main window on the Catalogue Tab. Do one of the following:

Scan the barcode shown at Step 1 on the Cheat Sheet; or
Click the "Check Out Items Using Scanner" button; or
Press F9 or Ctrl-Q on the keyboard

You will be presented with the following dialog:

STEP 2

Do one of the following:

Take the Person's ID Card and scan the barcode that is on the ID card; or
Type in the Person ID or Barcode ID (whichever is available) and press Enter

You should now be presented with the following window:

STEP 3

You can now enter all of the items that this person wishes to borrow. For each item, do one of the following:

Scan the barcode that is on the catalogue item; or
Type in the barcode number from the catalogue item, and press Enter

Repeat the above for each catalogue item that the person wishes to borrow. As each item is scanned or entered, it should appear in the list. If there is a problem with the item then a warning message is displayed.

After scanning or entering all of the items, you may adjust the Due Date if desired. This Due Date will apply to all items listed.

STEP 4

To close the above window, do one of the following:

Scan the barcode shown at Step 4 on the Cheat Sheet; or
Click OK using the mouse; or
Press Alt-O or Ctrl-O on the keyboard (that is the letter "O" not the number zero)
