-  * **Remove Scanner Affixes** -+  * **Remove Scanner Affixes** - These two fields provide a way to enter any scanner affixes that should be removed from any input //prior// to the barcode being used within Mystic. One of the most common affix that needs to be removed is the tilde (~) prefix.
  
-  * **Strip Then Buffer** -+  * **Strip Then Buffer** - The Strip-then-buffer option tells Mystic to strip any inputted barcode back down to its most basic form (e.g. 000101 becomes 101) prior to buffer it back to the correctly recorded [[:​pergamonmystic:​linkedhelp:​lookup_module_hid|HID Formats]] for catalogue accession numbers. Setting this option allows for the rare cases (usually as a result of importing several generations of library catalogue) where older barcodes have a long format but which need to be modified to a shorter standard format now adopted by the library (e.g. [000101] strips to [101], then may be re-buffered to [0101] if the new standard barcode length is 4).
  
-  * **Minimum Barcode Length** -+  * **Minimum Barcode Length** - This option states what the minimum barcode length should be when scanning / typing barcodes. If a barcode smaller than this minimum is entered, Mystic will buffer the barcode to the minimum length before performing creations, searches etc. 
  
-  * **Allow Attachments** -+  * **Allow Attachments** - States whether Mystic should allow attachments to Catalogue Items.
  
-  * **Allow Duplicate Barcodes** -+  * **Allow Duplicate Barcodes** - States whether Mystic should allow duplicate barcodes, or to challenge the user when an attempt is made to use a barcode already in the system.
