Hello Chris. I didn't understand by what you said "Generate Report" and "use another software". Do you mean to say that I export the label in CSV or is it some other functionality??? Generating report is using SQL, I guess. How do I use the function in KOHA??? Parton Card type must have some variables stored which prints the Patron Type and Homebranch in the labels. I just want to remove them from the label. That must be possible I guess. Anyways, if there is some other way to do what you said, please explain me in details because I didn't get you. Thank you.

Hello all.
I'm using KOHA 3.0.3 in Debian Lenny. I have currently tried to set up the label creator for books and patrons.
I started creating the labels but ran into a small problem.
Generating labels for books is going good, but I'm facing problems in generating labels for patrons.
I can generate visible label only when I select the Print Type as "Patron Cards", but this layout gives homebranch, patron type and patron barcode. The thing that annoys me is that I only want the patron barcode nothing else. I have tried to use "only barcodes" type and also assigned barcode field in the text field type but it generates blank pdfs. The only way I can get patron label pdf is by selecting the patron cards type.
I tried to look at the documentaion but it doesn't explain about the "patron cards" type. I just want to remove the homebranch library name and parton type from the output generated by "patron cards" type.
The Patron Cards feature in 3.0.x is only half there and as such does not function as one might expect. The entire module is currently being re-written and will appear fully functional in 3.2. Until then, you could create a report to export your patron card numbers and then use another piece of software to generate the barcode labels you desire.
HTH
Kind Regards, Chris
