G'day, we're running koha 2.2.4 on FC3 and the library staff have almost completed entering the books. They have been trying to print barcodes, and they are stuggling to get this to work. On the Barcodes Generator screen, everything that they key into the From and To fields, results in the message "Can't find inventory codes in that range. Please try again." What are these "inventory codes"? We've tried the actual sql record numbers, the barcodes that were scanned when the books were keyed and various random numbers, all to no avail. One thing that I have found is that if we key in 0 (zero) to either field, the following messages ares diplayed in koha-error_log [Thu Jan 19 13:18:40 2006] [error] [client 10.121.128.47] Can't locate object method "barcode" via package "PDF::API2" at /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/barcodes/barcodesGenerator.pl line 237., referer: http://koha:8080/cgi-bin/koha/barcodes/barcodes.pl [Thu Jan 19 13:18:40 2006] [error] [client 10.121.128.47] Premature end of script headers: barcodesGenerator.pl, referer: http://koha:8080/cgi-bin/koha/barcodes/barcodes.pl Is there an idiots guide to printing barcodes anywhere? I've trawled the mailing lists and documentation references on the koha websites but I can't find anything obvious. -- Regards Martin Woolley ICT Support Handsworth Grammar School Isis Astarte Diana Hecate Demeter Kali Inanna ************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Aquil, it sounds like you want to use your "accession numbers" as if they were "barcodes" (unique identifying numbers), even using them to print barcode labels. So why not just use the items.barcode field? As for updating, use the koha.upgrade script that comes with the package. Stephen JIT lib said:

Hi everyone. This is Aquil from India I am using koha window version.The server information is as follows:

Koha version 2.2.4 OS version Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] Perl version5.008007 MySQL versionmysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.26, for Win32 (ia32)Apache version.

First thing i want to know is, Can I include a field "Accession no."in Biblio. There is no as such category. On the basis of that accession no. which is unique for each document, Can I generate barcodes. But as koha support 11 digits barcodes only or 9 digit, but at present I have only 500 collection in the library, and accession is statrting from 1, 2, 3, 4..................500.. So will my present software version support for barcode gerating or how can I do it?

Second thing I want to know is how Can I update my present version of software?

Thanking You
