Barcodes
 
Clients have several choices on how to apply the appropriate barcodes to the inventory items (assuming RFID is not being used).
Create barcode labels with a label printer
Have an outside company create barcode stickers that can be placed on items (i.e., tamper proof stickers on iPod Audio Tour devices)
Create luggage tag type labels that get attached to items
 
When creating labels with Siriusware software, you can use the following chart to pull the fields needed.
 
Note: Some of these include RI in the barcode. This can change depending if you have the barcode scanner programmed with an RI prefix.
