Does PC Card Catalog print bar code labels? If I buy pre-printed labels, what do I need?
PC Card Catalog CIRCULATION (v3.30 and later) and CONCEPT I can print bar code labels within the program. Earlier versions and BASIC do not. The internally printed labels are 12-digit codes and use the Code 39 symbology. The software allows you to define a range of bar code numbers to be printed. The user must be certain that no duplicate numbers are created. (Duplicates will be dutifully printed, but won’t be of much use.)
