Leavers and barcode lists

I am updating my student barcode lists for borrowing, following the release notes 7.0. The barcode lists are becoming quite long as past students who have left remain on the library system. When I refresh students (B4; R3) should I indicate ‘Y’ next to the option ‘Remove students who have left and have no current loans’? Is this the best way to get around this? If a student comes back will this cause a problem? As a new TL I have not used this option before but the barcode lists are just becoming too long. 

Select “Y” to the prompt “Remove students who have left & have no current loans”. If those students later return to your school they will pick up where they left off. All data is attached to their ERN and so when that is transferred back on to your school then even their borrowing record is reactivated. This applies even if your library does not use ERN (student code) as your borrower ID barcode numbers.

Barcode borrower list

Have just printed off the barcoded borrower lists after having downloaded the new Citrix version.

I managed to do this without a hitch however I have a slight problem with the printed list. The height of each row that lists the names and barcodes is quite short and when I think I am scanning a particular student I end up scanning either the student below or above often.

Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the height of the rows?

If it’s in WORD, format paragraph will let you increase the white space above and below each paragraph.

 
I tried yesterday (with the help of the very techy computer co-ordinator) to print the borrower barcodes.
They “printed” but then would not scan. (Hod downloaded the notes to follow.)

What are we doing wrong?    
 
I found that the only barcode font to work was IDAutomationHC39M – Laureen pointed us to it at the end of last year  -http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/free/
Are you printing the class list? do you have instrucitons for it?
I’ve printed cards but can remember how to do the class list and would really appreciate the instructions!

I was able to print out my borrower list using OASIS and nothing else.It was so easy and exciting!
I jumped onto OASIS this morning and thought I would have a fiddle with B2 A2 – Borrower Barcode Listings. The computer said install Thin Client ? ( I can’t remember the number) so I did so. (This can be done from the welcome screen which is the white screen you see when you click on OASIS from Applications.  Then click on Citrix Client Version 12.1 where it says Download) ICT walked me through.
After that I just used B2 A2 and it printed them all out as barcodes for me!
Maybe you all know about this and it’s old news but just in case, I thought I would let you know.

I’ve just done the same, but with the help of detailed notes which were forwarded from the ICT Help Desk. You need to install Citrix Client version 12.0  (usually the CC has to do this), after firstly uninstalling previous versions.
