The OhioNet office houses several barcode (i.e. inventory) scanners for use by any OPAL member. You may request a scanner using the link below. Instructions are sent with the scanner and the manual may be consulted for additional details. Completed inventories may be sent to opalhelp@ohionet.org to be processed or to be converted into a list in Create Lists. Barcodes in the file should not exceed 5,000.
Please return the scanner, cradle, and these instructions in the box in which they came to you. The box should close easily. You may either drop the scanner off at the OhioNet office or ship it. If shipped, the package must be sent via UPS, FedEx or USPS, and it must be insured with the carrier for $200.00. Please contact OPALHelp for the return mailing address.
