3.    Click on the ... button next to Printer to select a printer from your list of available printers.

5.    Click once to highlight the printer name.
6.    Click on Apply.

1. Click the radio button next to Review
2. If the cursor is not in the green box next to the scan button, then click on the scan button.

1. Scan the item's barcode into the box. SpineOMatic will connect to Alma, in the Cloud, to find the record.
2. If it finds a matching record in Alma, it will send the title and call number and other information back to SpineOMatic. You do not need to be logged in to Alma for this process to work.
3. If you need to edit the call number, you can make changes here in the yellow Output Box. Changes made here do not affect Alma. In this case, the NO.2 needs to be on a new line.

Once you have the call number formatted the way you want, click on the Send to desktop printer button.

1. If you need to see previous barcode numbers, click on the triangle next to the scan box
2. It will reveal a drop down list of the last 5 barcodes scanned (good & bad scans) from the current SpineOMatic session. Double click on a number to activate it and bring it back to the scan box. Clicking on the triangle again will close the drop down list.

1. If you scan an item and it hiccups (note the % sign), or if the barcode is not in the system,
2. You will see this error message.

3.     To try again, click on the scan button to clear the box to be able to scan the barcode again. If the item is truly not in the system, the book will need to be sent back to the cataloger for investigation and correction.

Once the label prints correctly,  you will need to

• Cover the label with 1-inch scotch magic tape
• Pop any air bubbles that might affect viewing the call number (use the tip of an X-Acto knife to puncture the tape to let the air out)
• Trim the label (top, bottom and right sides) to make it a more manageable size.
• Apply the call number label and any location labels needed to the book. The book should already have the Emory property stamp and security features added.
