Bulk scan has two main purposes. The first is to allow you to type the barcode number of a book into the stock check, if for example the barcode is damaged or if a barcode reader is not being used.
The second purpose is to speed up the process of scanning items. Every batch of 25 books that are scanned into bulk scan are automatically downloaded into the 'Checked Items' list. Using bulk scan is quicker than simply scanning a barcode into the 'Checked Items' list as the item is processed in the background rather than being processed when scanning. This allows you to continue scanning barcodes quickly without having to wait between scans.
To access bulk scan, first load the stock check interface and then click 'Bulk Scan' from the toolbar.
Scan the book's barcode (not the book's ISBN) or type the barcode number of the book into the text box and press Enter on your keyboard. Any books that are typed/scanned are added to the list below the box.
Once you have processed all required numbers, click the 'OK' button and the barcodes that were entered will be added to the 'Checked Items' list, in the stock check window.
