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.
The fastest way to enter items is with the ComicBase Professional and Archive Edition’s Items > Add Items by Barcode command (Ctrl + I). This 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.
ComicBase Professional and Archive Editions also include an Items > Sales Terminal (Ctrl + L) command which lets ComicBase work like a simple
Point
of Sale Cash Register system. Just bleep in the barcodes of the items 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 items
are automatically deducted from your inventory.
All editions of ComicBase also let you use an item’s barcode to go directly to that particular
item from any title in ComicBase. Just scan in the item’s barcode into the main window’s search box (Ctrl-J will jump the cursor there), and
ComicBase will pull up that item’s information. From there, you can edit or view the issue--or just type a number from 0 to 9 on your computer's keyboard and instantly set that number as they quantity in stock for the selected issue.
For older comics (typically pre-1992) without barcodes, ComicBase
also allows you to print a barcode on any price label, or on
ComicBase’s Comic ID Labels:
