Problem with barcode printing too wide on patron cards; alignment also incorrect on spine labels
I've just setup the latest koha on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and I'm in the process of attempting to configure the system. I believe things are pretty close, but I have two problems I can't seem to resolve.1) The barcodes for the patron cards - for patron #2, the barcode is around 3-4" long, with the wider barcode strips being at least 3/16". The barcode scanner will not read this, and I simply cannot find where to change this.2) The other issue is that the spine labels print out OK, only I can't align the barcode at the top with the other text. If I select left justification, the test below the barcode starts at the left (which is expected). But if I select center justification, the center is close to the far right of the barcode. I've attempted to adjust the layouts and templates, but I'm not having any luck here. Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks for your input.
To get started, we need to know the dimensions of the labels you are using. On my side am using 13 by 5 labels on A4 size paper. Downloadable templates here https://www.flexilabels.co.uk/a4-sheet-labels/avery-style-labels/65-labels-p... Try using the dimensions on that site for your label size, they are usually written on the packaging. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Problem-with-barcode-printing-too-wide-on-...

Regarding the barcodes: At the moment, the barcode dimensions are hard coded in relation to the dimension of the label. For patron cards exists a solution that makes barcode scaling editable: Bug 14107 - Patron cards: Make barcode width and height scaling editable Status: Signed-off http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14107 For labels, see: Bug 14149 - Labels: Make barcode width and height scaling editable Status: New http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14149 Am 25.05.2015 um 07:05 schrieb ccie 6862:
