Print a range of barcodes

I couldn't find a question on this particular topic - can you specify a range of barcodes that you wish to print?

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer because I don't use barcodes, but I did find this announcement of the barcode feature on the LT blog: https://blog.librarything.com/2015/06/new-feature-barcode-support/

If the answer you need isn't anywhere there, I would suggest reposting your question in the Talk About Library Thing group (https://www.librarything.com/ngroups/902/Talk-about-LibraryThing), which gets a lot more traffic than this group. You have a better shot of catching the eye of someone who knows the answer there.

Good luck!

Print from where?

If you mean the ones that you can buy printed: https://www.librarything.com/more/store/barcodes - then yes, you select the range when you order.

If you mean from somewhere on the site, please specify what exactly you mean :) If you mean "Can I assign barcodes starting from a specific number and then print the books or the barcodes of the books from Your Catalog, then as far as I know, you cannot do that for sequential ones (although you may be able to trick it by adding a manual one and then switching to sequential with "Highest barcode +1". Not sure that this will work though.

I suspect this is why noone responded - it is unclear what you are asking...

OK - let me ask this a little better than I did before. I have several plastic bins of books that I've catalogued in LibraryThing. I would like a list of those books in each seperate bin. Can I specify a range of barcodes with which to create a list? (I've tried copy and paste into Word, but the formatting is different, and it doesn't work.)

I'm having trouble understanding the last bit of your question here: "Can I specify a range of barcodes with which to create a list? (I've tried copy and paste into Word, but the formatting is different, and it doesn't work.)"

Where are you looking to specify a range of barcodes? Are you talking about searching for a range of barcodes in your catalog on LibraryThing? Somewhere or something else? Where are you looking to create the list: Microsoft Word, I assume?
