[Koha] Barcode Don't Found

[Roche III, Edward]

Hi Darryl

I currently am not using a barcode reader, I am typing manually. I have
tested with a barcode reader and the output is the same as the barcode
label.

Thanks!

The difficulty might be between the printed barcode labels and the
barcode
scanner. You should verify with the scanner what the labels actually
return: modern barcode types (like Code 128 symbology) will let you
print
labels which have spaces in the human-readable text, but no spaces might
be encoded in the barcode.

This lets barcode labels show a human-readable number that is divided
up,
even though the actual data encoded doesn't include the space.

In other words, the human-readable barcode on your book labels might
"show" a space where none exists in the scanned barcode data. So if your
MARC record has a barcode data field with a space in the middle, then
your
scans won't match if the scanner is stripping them out.

Maybe you'll find your barcode labels show the text as "T 01234" but if
the scan returns "T01234" and the MARC record has "T 01234" then no
match
happens.

Hope this helps.
