[Evergreen-catalogers] auto-generate barcodes

Thu Jun 13 17:32:51 EDT 2019

Hi Beth and Christy,

I believe Christy is right, after entering the first barcode you need to
hit enter instead of tab. Enter is a carriage return to the next line, like
a scanner does. Tab is just moving to the next field.
