[Koha] Will the insanity ever end? What about the barcode? - Smile

[Phillip Ponchot]

And of course the answer is no.  Not as long as I am a network engineer, systems administrator, desktop support specialist or helpdesk specialist - there always will be bugs and incompatibilties.

As the library has just upgraded to Koha 3.14, I am stamping out issues which thankfully I've had some superb help from the Koha List. 

One of the peculiar issues has been that whenever the barcode readers scan a book, there is a message that the barcode does not exist.  Whenever the book barcode is typed in however, the book can be checked out or in.  I had suspected that the return or enter code on the barcode was not being recognized correctly by Koha, but then a return or enter is a return or enter and should work. 

I found a single item on the web that indicated that this is being caused by the fact that the barcode is sending the form information before the form is complete.  The article talked about revising the form setup in the test database.  

Is there an update to fix this problem and if so can anyone tell me how to get the fix or patch Koha?

If there is not an update can anyone tell me how to fix the issue?

If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate.
