-===== Editing The Barcode Trough The Scan Window =====
+{{:desktop:desktop_scan_window_set_cust_media.png?maxwidth=700}}
+===== Editing The Barcode Through The Scan Window =====
 ==== Adding A Suffix or Prefix To A Barcode ====
-Adding a prefix or suffix to a barcode may be required when a volume has been entered into TapeTrack with an ID of a barcode and media type (eg. L6) but the volume only has the barcode (minus media type) when scanned.
+Adding a prefix or suffix to a Barcode may be required when a [[object:volume|Volume]] has been entered into TapeTrack with an ID of a Barcode and media type (eg. L6) but the [[object:volume|Volume]] only has the Barcode (minus media type) when Scanned.
+To add a suffix to Scanned Barcodes in the field ''Edit'', under **Options** in the top right of the **Scan** window, add an asterisk (which represents the Scanned barcode) and the required suffix.
+For example to add L6 to a Scanned Barcode add ***L6** in the ''Edit'' field.
+Scanning Barcode 000012 will now input into the **Scan** window as 000012L6.
+{{:desktop:desktop_scan_window_suffix.png?maxwidth=700}}
+To add a prefix to the Scanned Barcode is achieved in the same way as adding a prefix except the prefix is added to the ''Edit'' field before the asterisk.
+For example to add TK to the Scanned Barcode add **TK** in the ''Edit'' field.
+Scanning Barcode 000012 will now input into the Scan window as TK000012.
+{{:desktop:desktop_scan_window_prefix.png?maxwidth=700}}
+===== Truncating A Scanned Barcode ====
+If the [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] have been entered into TapeTrack in a truncated format, the Barcodes can be modified by entering the appropriate values in the ''Edit'' field under **Options** in the top right of the Scan window.
+Two characters that are used to remove unwanted Barcode characters are the tilde (~) and carat (^).  For each position of the Barcode you can remove (^) or keep (~) the associated value.
-To add a suffix to scanned barcodes in the field ''Edit'', under **Options** in the top right of the scan window, add an asterisk (which represents the scanned barcode) and the required suffix.
+If a Barcode has a suffix (000012L6) but the [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] (000012) has been entered in TapeTrack without it, entering either ~~~~~~ or ~~~~~~^^ will keep the first 6 characters and discard the rest.
-For example to add L6 to a scanned barcode add ***L6** in the ''Edit'' field.
+Scanning Barcode 000012L6 will now input into the **Scan** window as 000012.
-Scanning barcode 000012 will now input into the scan window as 000012L6.
+{{:desktop:desktop_scan_window_remove_suffix.png?maxwidth=700}}
-{{:common:common_scan_window_suffix.png}}
+To remove a prefix from the Barcode, inserting ^^~~~~~~ into the ''Edit'' field will remove the first two characters from the Barcode and keep the next 6 characters.
-To add a prefix to the scanned barcode is acheieved in the same way as add ing a prefix except the prefix is added to the ''Edit'' field before the asterisk.
+Scanning Barcode TK000012 will now input as 000012.
