==== Using Barcode Validation ====
Using a Barcode Scanner or a keyboard, enter a Barcode into the Barcode field.

In the Status field, the Barcode Validation Utility will either display **Request OK** if there is a corresponding Barcode Rule in [[master:admin_barcode|Barcode Administration]] or **Unsupported Barcode Format** if there is not. 

If the status displays **Request OK**, other information pertaining to that Barcode will display, such as its [[object:customer|Customer-ID]], [[object:media|Media-ID]], and [[object:volume|Volume-ID]].
