[Koha] barcode scanner

[Cindy Murdock]

Some barcode scanners can be reprogrammed...get the make and model, and 
look on the manufacturer's website for instructions.  Some even have 
applications that can be used to generate barcodes to reprogram it by 
scanning them.  You might be able to program it to do a tab instead of a 
carriage return, or just omit the carriage return if necessary.  We had 
to do that to program ours to ignore extraneous digits.
