LogSize=300

LowerBoundary=-1
UpperBoundary=-1
These two entries set the upper and lower boundaries for the patrons'barcodes. It may be taken for granted in your library that the barcodes are divided into two ranges.

One of them may be used for the items' barcodes while the other identifies patrons. For example, the barcodes from 1 till 2000 are the patrons' barcodes and the rest are used for the items.

This way the number scanned in with the barcode reader can be easily associated with the proper group.

-1 means that no division exists and the LowerBoundary/UpperBoundary entries should be ignored.
