==== Scan-Out Container Location ====

<note tip>If you have no registered Containers, this step will be skipped.</note>


If using Containers with unique identities, select from the displayed list the required Containers to assign the Volumes to.  Select one Container by double-clicking or by left-clicking ''Container ID'' and clicking ''Next''. To select multiple Containers control + left-click to select required choices. Containers can also be Scanned-Out by clicking the Open **Volume Scan-In** window by clicking on Scan-in Button which will launch the [[desktop:scan_window|Desktop Scan Window]] and scan required Containers. 

If [[object:volume|Volumes]] have already been assigned to a Container via TapeMaster or Sync process,  the correct Container/s will be pre-selected and shown in a grey background, or blue background when the window in clicked on.

If no Containers are needed simply click ''Next''.

====Scan-Out Volumes ====

The **Scan-Out [[object:volume|Volumes]]** window will display the tapes eligible for Scanning-Out of the selected [[object:customer|Customer]] and [[object:repository|Repository]]. 

This window also, by default, opens the **Scan-Out Volumes Input** window. [[object:customer|Customer-ID]] and [[object:media|Media-ID]] values can be entered in the upper right Defaults panel to automatically add these values to the scanned Barcodes if scanning unqualified Barcodes. The field Edit in the Defaults panel can be used to add prefix or suffixes to the [[object:volume|Volume-ID]]. 

For example, setting the [[object:customer|Customer-ID]] field to US01, [[object:media|Media-ID]] field to LTO and edit field to *L5 will change a Barcode of 123456 to US01.LTO.123456L5.
