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.
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.
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. Kind Regards, Chris
