Manhattan Contact CCD Barcode Scanner

ComicBase has always been pretty easy to get around, but now you can kick it into overdrive by using the program’s built-in barcode support. The program now comes built-in with tens of thousands of EAN and UPC codes to help you find and enter your comics, and new codes are released as part of the downloadable updates each week.

There are several ways which you can use barcode support with your copy of ComicBase. As of ComicBase 11, we’ve added a brand-new Batch menu to the ComicBase Pro and Archive Editions. The commands in this menu expand on the barcode support in ComicBase to let you turbocharge your collection management:

Add Comics to Inventory (Ctrl + I) lets you scan in the barcodes (UPC, ISBN, or ComicBase-created) from a whole stack of comics, and enter them into your inventory all in one fell swoop.

Sell Comics (F9) lets ComicBase work like a simple Point of Sale Cash Register system. Just bleep in the comics you want to sell, and ComicBase will total up the sale, complete with sales tax and shipping charges. It will can even print an itemized sales receipt! Then, once the sale is completed, the comics are automatically deducted from your inventory.

You can also use a comic’s barcode to go directly to that particular issue from any title in ComicBase. Just choose ComicBase’s Jump command (Ctrl + J), scan in the comic’s barcode, and ComicBase will instantly pull up that issue’s information!

As for older or less mainstream comics without barcodes, ComicBase also allows you to print a barcode on any price label, or on ComicBase’s Comic ID Labels:
