Hello all, We have a problem at one of our customers' sites - their barcode scanners are not reading the labels generated from Koha. At this time it looks like the scanner cannot read code 39 labels. Has anyone experienced this problem? If yes, what was the solution. A related question, Koha does not seem to have an option to generate code 128 barcodes, or does it? I know we install the CPAN module Barcode::Code128. Thanks, Savitra Sirohi Nucsoft OSS Labs http://www.osslabs.biz

Hello all,

It seems most likely that you need to configure the barcode reader to read Code39. Checkout the users manual for your scanner.
A related question, Koha does not seem to have an option to generate code 128 barcodes, or does it? I know we install the CPAN module Barcode::Code128.
Koha will not generate Code128 at the moment. This would be trivial to implement. You could, however, print your barcode labels with different software or have them printed using Code128 and then scan them into Koha. Kind Regards, Chris

Hi This is not related to koha but to scanner configuration. you often have a booklet with the scanner that allows you to input or change the way bracodes are scanned. All you have to do is find the barcode sequence which enables code39. hopes that helps. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
