[Koha] Unable to generate barcodes, koha 3.10.00.000 live dvd
After adding books to the catalog I attempt to print labels. I export with avery 5160 and the 'label test' layout to pdf. When it exports the barcodes are just several blocks and they are all the same. I have autobarcode in Home › Administration › System preferences set to branchcodeyymm0001. This is a new install and so far I have only added 7 books. I'm testing this right now at home in vmware before I use it on a small 500ish book library at nonprofit where I volunteer. When I manage the batch in the label created in the chart that shows all of the books the barcode field is blank. I've searched all over google and can not figure this out. This is a critical feature because they want to be able to check out books by scanning them. screencaps http://postimg.org/image/wupdvp4al/ http://postimg.org/image/q6okfbba3/ -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Unable-to-generate-barcodes-koha-3-10-00-000-live-dvd-tp5755110.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha

First off, using that barcode sequence is a bad idea. It was a bad idea and should really only be retained for backward compatibility for libraries currently using it. Sequential is a better choice. http://postimg.org/image/q6okfbba3/ This phenomena occurs because of the interaction of a short (char-wise) barcode number and poor barcode image scaling code. The quickest solution is to start your barcodes at some number starting with a non-zero digit and containing five or more digits.
