Hi Darryl I currently am not using a barcode reader, I am typing manually. I have tested with a barcode reader and the output is the same as the barcode label. Thanks! Ed Edward J.

You should verify with the scanner what the labels actually return: modern barcode types (like Code 128 symbology) will let you print labels which have spaces in the human-readable text, but no spaces might be encoded in the barcode. This lets barcode labels show a human-readable number that is divided up, even though the actual data encoded doesn't include the space. In other words, the human-readable barcode on your book labels might "show" a space where none exists in the scanned barcode data. So if your MARC record has a barcode data field with a space in the middle, then your scans won't match if the scanner is stripping them out. Maybe you'll find your barcode labels show the text as "T 01234" but if the scan returns "T01234" and the MARC record has "T 01234" then no match happens. Hope this helps. Darryl Zurn Ed Roche wrote:
That is an idea but I would think there was a way to have Koha [ac]cept the T+space.
