Attach a scanner to the USB port on a laptop. Wait for the driver to install it on the laptop.
Turn up the volume on your computer to hear the audible tone after each scan.
Begin scanning.
Important Note for Inventory Control: Listen for the audible tone from the computer before scanning the next barcode. Failure to do this will result in the item not fully processing. If an item does not process completely that item will show as a missing item on inventory.
Scan the barcode of the item on the shelf, and click Submit. If you have a barcode reader, you may not have to click the Submit button.

Items that have a current status of missing, billed, gone, etc. will show up when the item is scanned.
You can update that status to “on shelf” instantaneously.
Items that have a hold will be identified, so you can pull those items to start the hold process.
Items that have been billed will prompt you to pull the item to rectify the patron’s bill.
Items that do not have a barcode in the system will show when scanning in Circa.
