When entering ISBNs just enter the 10 digit number, without any dashes or punctuation.

NOTE: If you are using a Wap Browser AND have Wap Numlock On, for ISBNs that end in 'X', simply leave it off the end and BookScoutPRO will add it.

EAN

When entering EANs just enter the 13 digit number, beginning with 978. It is not necessary to enter the 5 digit price addon, but if you do it will be ignored (great for scanner users).

UPC

When entering a UPC just enter the 12 digit number. It is important to remember that you need the entire number, including the 2 smaller numbers somewhat outside the barcode.

When entering UPCs you need to specify the UPC mode, which is the type of UPC you are entering. There are 2 ways to do this.

The current UPC mode, displayed at the top of the lookup screen, is the UPC mode that will be used if no other is specified. Any upc entered is assumed to be of that mode. You can change the current UPC mode by entering Ux in the lookup box, where x is one of the following UPC Modes.

B - Books
M - Music
V - Video
S - Software
G - Videogames

Or you can temporarily override the current UPC Mode by entering the UPC prefixed by the UPC Mode. For example, if the current UPC mode is books and you want to look up 1 Music CD, you could enter M + the upc. This would look up the one UPC as a music CD and all others as books. Using this method does not change the current UPC Mode.

NOTE: If you are using a wap browser AND you have wap numlock turned on, you can change the current UPC Mode by entering 9x, where x is one of the following numeric codes.

2 - Books
3 - Music
4 - Video
5 - Software
6 - Videogames

Wap users with numlock on cannot temporarily override the Upc Mode as indicated above.
