RE: Technical Services workstations RE: Mil Cataloging - printing

["Fran Stumpf" <fstumpf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Don -

Are you actually printing spine labels on the Micron from Millennium
cataloging? We had to switch to printing spine labels on our Okidata
through OCLC's CatME product because our printing capability was even
blown away in GuiCat. Our software is setup to print spine labels only
but insists on adding the pocket label as well. Very frustrating.
