Just signed up and paid for this software. Used bar code entry method for 121 comics, database says I have 160. It also says one of them is Batman Vol. 2. I don’t own that. What is going on? If the bar code entry system does not work this is not for me… What is the point of bar code/scanner if I have to proof each and every issue???
I’ve moved your topic to CLZ Comics Web as it looks like you own the Web version.
Bad database entries
I’m thinking your bad entries are because you’re scanning the first bit of the barcode, and not the extension. That can give bad results. If you add without looking then those results will indeed come into your collection.
Total comics
Checking your collection I currently see a total of 27 comics.
Not 121, not 160. Perhaps you’ve already started over?
Batman Vol. 2
Looking at Batman Vol. 2 issue 1D, I see you scanned “070989304307” for that.
That seems to be way too short a barcode (if you scan such a short barcode without the extension in the Add Comics screen it will come up with 127 results, and the top result would be Batman Vol. 2 issue 1D, which isn’t what you own).
CLZ Scanner
I’m also seeing you use CLZ Scanner to scan.
So let’s reset for a moment.
When you scan a barcode using CLZ Scanner, for comics, please set the toggle to “EXT”, so it will scan the EXTENSION of the barcode as well which is important to actually choose the right edition.
I would recommend to start over and clear your database. If you wish to try that, click:
- menu top left, then maintenance
- then clear database
Now, open the Add Comics screen and just scan 1 or 2 barcodes using the CLZ Scanner set to the EXT toggle (the toggle is on your screen).
Now visibly CHECK the results if it picked up the right comic?
Then add them to your collection.
I hope with that information you should be scanning the right barcode, and get the right results in no time. Let me know how you go!
