- Print ISBN/Accession Bar Code Labels
- Overview
Instructional Materials Management prints the ISBN, title, district name, and the accession number on the same bar code label. For example:
The label sheet size matches Avery 6578 (polyester label) or 6572 (paper label) or the generic equivalent. The label sheet should contain 15 labels: five labels down and three labels across per sheet. Printing runs down column one before proceeding to columns two and three.
