Re: Help!!Spine label printing

[Sheila Corman <scorman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Aine-
We print labels directly from MilCat. The label queue is set up by the 
login. If everyone who uses MilCat uses the same login, the labels will 
be in one queue. If they login in as separate people, the labels will 
queue under that login. For example, I login in under sccat. All my 
labels will be under that "Labels for sccat". The person who works for 
me uses "MainCat", so her labels under under that login. If both of us 
used "MainCat", our labels would be in the same queue.
To print labels in MilCat, click on "Tools", "Queue Monographic Labels," 
after creating the item record.
Once all the labels are queued, go to "Create List." Find an empty file. 
Select "Copy File." Go down the list to the bottom and there will be a 
file "Labels for ....." Copy that file.
Once the file is copied, show the records in the file. Then go to 
"File", select printer and select label printer and whichever system 
printer the labels will print to. Then "File", "Print labels." Once that 
screen is display, click on "Edit labels."
From there you can modify any of the labels. Also, the "pocket" side 
will display. We use those not for pockets, but to put into books as an 
identifier of ownership when needed. We delete the location code.
After everything is correct, we print the labels. MilCat will only print 
to Gaylord SL6 labels.
We've been doing this for a few months and are happy with it.
We used to type the labels in WordPerfect and this is much better.
Let me know if you need more info,
Sheila
