Barcode bug - barcode scanning fails
I've got a major problem in that the barcode reader reads a book on checkout or checkin but fails to do either. The checkin or checkout can be entered by hand and the book will checkin or checkout. Of course this forces extra work on the circulation desk. As I can tell, the closest bug is 11292 and I have seen this issue mentioned intermittently on the web. Is there a patch or fix for this barcode reader issue and how do I get it? Thanks for any info. Phillip

How does the output of the scanner differ from the hand-typed barcode? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
It is my understanding that this was a bug in Koha 3.14 that was later fixed. My further understanding is that the a scanned barcode was causing the "Enter" to be processed before the form was complete.

But you didn't answer that question. If the output of your barcode scanner differs from the number on the barcode then you'll have to try to reprogram your scanner. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
I've located a manual for this particular barcode reader. Now I can get into the scanner and find out what the settings are.

Is anyone using the Honeywell Voyager MS9520 barcode reader with Koha version 3.14? If you do, have you had any problems. Is Code 39 the best code to use with Koha? Thanks, Phillip
