PROCEDURES TO PRINT LABELS FROM OCLC

For selected batch updates, you can automatically create a .pdf file containing shipping and/or return labels for the requests that you have just updated. Request Manager extracts address information from each request's Ship To: and Return To: fields and automatically formats it to match one of three common label types. Although Request Manager creates the file .pdf file, you must have Adobe Reader installed on your workstation to open the file and print the labels (see: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html ).
