barcode label at the same time when programming a circulation circuit linking the same
item identifier used by the barcode and the circulation circuit. See “Programming Circuits
for RFID and Barcode Items” on page 8-5 for detailed information.
The high-level process by which circuits are programmed is as follows:
1 If programming new materials, enter the new item identifier. If using barcodes, scan
the barcode for the item identifier.
2 Wave the circulation circuit over the CCP.
3 The circulation circuit is now programmed with the item identifier. If selected, a label
prints automatically with the barcode for placement within the material.
Programming Circulation Circuits
Configuring the CCP
There are some non-essential configuration options that tailors your use of the CCP once
you have selected a Programming Method. Auto-Increment utilizes one additional option
not available to Barcode programming.
Once you have selected a programming method, you access the configuration options by
clicking File > Configure.
Programming Circuits for RFID Items Only
This section provides instructions on how to program items (books, dvds, etc.) that use
only circulation circuits and no barcodes.
Programming Continuously
This powerful feature allows you to program circulation circuits in Auto-Increment mode
without ever pressing a button. You simply wave the circulation circuit over the CCP,
which programs the item identifier, and then automatically increments it by one digit. You
then repeat the process.
Note: Be careful to keep tags away from the CCP as you can unintentionally program a tag when using
this feature.
To program RFID circulation circuits using Auto-Increment:
1 Launch the CCP by clicking Start > All Programs > Circulation Circuit
Programmer.

Name Description
Configure (available only with
Auto-Increment)
Enables you to type a new starting number for Auto-Increment
programming.
Beep on Success Allows you to audibly determine when you have successfully
programmed a circulation circuit.
Service Mode Allows you to see additional information around the item identifier
being programmed into the circulation circuit.
Display Format File Allows you to see which file is selected in the status bar.
