You got to this screen by depressing the Trade Button on the Main Screen.
From this screen you can accomplish the printing of all your Inventory Book Labels for used books.
Please Note: This is only one of two ways of accomplishing this task. The other way is to use the Trading Screen. You may scan a batch of books, then print labels in a batch. The advantage of doing this is that a mixed batch of books (different genres) can be "batched" together, and BookAccents will try to work everything out when printing the batch.
This method (Print Trade Labels), however, allows better control, and provides faster throughput for a batch of books that are similar. Additionally, you may easily assign books to a shelf location during this process. This method is highly recommended when Implementing BookAccents in a newly computerized store.
When you first enter into this screen, the information displayed is irrelevant, and should be ignored. The task of printing labels is accomplished in several steps.

It is vital that you set up your defaults prior to scanning books' ISBNs. Failure to do so will cause incorrect information to be entered into your Book Inventory Database. Nothing will be damaged, but you will need to recreate the labels.

The image at left represents a typical Defaults Frame. We have selected the correct parameters to represent a certain set of books.
As we scan book ISBNs, BookAccents will print labels using these values as defaults.

The information shown in the left frame represents the suggested parameters for trading used books. You may refer back to it when you wish to reestablish the "Factory Defaults".
Steps to setting up the Defaults:
Select a genre or category from the Category PullDown by clicking on its arrow.
Select the Genre... Let's assume it is General Fiction. Just select the correct Genre from the list, moving the slider if it doesn't show at first .
Now type in or scan the location that you will stock this batch of books. FD2-03 for example. It is OK to leave this field blank. You can easily reestablish a book's location.
When you do this, your Defaults should look as is does in the right-hand frame.
Important Note: Except for the Location Field, BookAccents "Remembers" the parameters in your default frame from the last time they were changed. BookAccents remembers one setting for New Books, and another for Trade Books.
Please go and pull a Nora Robert's "Villa" and "Midnight Bayou" if you want to follow along.
This entire process took just a few seconds. You could continue scanning an entire shelf of General Fiction Books. When done with that shelf of Genre, just make the necessary changes to the defaults frame and continue.
