[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt printers
Can anyone recommend an affordable, reliable receipt printer that works well with Evergreen's circulation functions? Printers with parallel connections seem problematic -- those with serial connections are impossible. George the Librarian Piedmont Regional Library System Winder, GA

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt printers
We use Star Micronics TSP100ECO. These are USB thermal printers and work great. These are totally Font/html configurable on the receipts. The only minor inconvenience is that if you send something to the printer the print Dialog box comes up, and you have to hit OK for it to actually print. There may be a fix for this but I have yet to have the time to really look in to this. I bought these when our old Star Micronics SP200's would not work with 1.6.1.4.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item overlay?
Hi all, I've just been presented with a scenario that I don't know the solution for. One of the libraries about to join our consortium relies on Baker & Taylor for their cataloging. They plan to use Title Source and upload the order information through the acquisitions MARC loader. This will create on order items for their patrons to place holds on . Where it gets tricky is when B&T catalogs their items. They will be providing bib records with an item tag attached. If we load these records, the library will end up with 2 apparent items: one created during the acq process with no real barcode, and the incoming cataloged item with a real barcode for circulation. What is needed is a way to match the cataloged item to the acq item during the batch load Vandelay process, replacing the acq item with the cataloged item, sort of an item overlay. Does this currently exist, or is it in development? Thanks, Mary Mary Llewellyn Database Manager Bibliomation, Inc. Middlebury, CT mllew...@biblio.org
[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds problem
When patrons place a hold through the Opac the program defaults to a title hold. That makes sense to me but . here is our problem and I am wondering if we have a settings issue. The hold is put on the first title that becomes available within the consortium, no matter where it is, even if the patron's home branch owns a copy. Here's what we would like to happen - the hold first goes to the patron home branch if a copy is available; if the home branch doesn't own a copy then the program looks for an available copy in our regional library. If a copy is not found within our region only then would the request go out to the consortium.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item overlay?
And addendum: I see Evergreen assigns a Copy ID number to each item/copy. That sounds to me like an excellent match point, if item overlay does exist. -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Mary Llewellyn Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 11:23 AM To: open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item overlay?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] FW: Item overlay?
And addendum: I see Evergreen assigns a Copy ID number to each item/copy. That sounds to me like an excellent match point, if item overlay does exist. Also, in case that wasn't obvious, we'd want the call number to be replaced as the item matched/overlaid. -Original Message- From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Mary Llewellyn Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2011 11:23 AM To: open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Item overlay?

Mary, it sounds like you may simply need to use (or increase the interval of) the "Holds: Soft stalling interval" library setting. If you apply this at the top of your org tree it will be used for all holds. The purpose of the setting is to delay opportunistic capture at any location other than the pickup library for the duration of that interval, starting from when the hold is placed, and allow specifically targetted holds (which are targeted exactly as you described wanting) to be pulled by staff to fill the hold. -- Mike Rylander | VP, Research and Design | Equinox Software, Inc. / Your Library's Guide to Open Source | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: mi...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Continuous feed thermal labels
Hi, Are any libraries printing continuous feed thermal labels? If so what printer are you using? Many of our libraries have Zebra TLP2844 or Zebra GK42. Release notes for 2.0 say compatible with Zebra Z4M thermal transfer. I hope it's compatible with other Zebra models too.
