[Evergreen-circ] [External] Re: Printing barcodes on recipts from Webby.

[Patrick, Irene]

That’s exactly what I was about to suggest.  When we were on Voyager we had to add a * before and after the barcode number for the start and stop characters, in order to print barcodes that could be read by a scanner.  I haven’t had to deal with this situation since we moved to Evergreen, but I presume it’s a similar issue.  I hope that will solve your problem.

Thanks for the feedback, Jason. Before hopping on the discussions, I did try re-typing because I thought there might be some strange things happening during copy-paste. I have also tried various font types and using a variety of sizes. I used Code39 and it almost exactly matches ours except our barcodes have extra lines at the beginning and end.

Hello!

If the receipts appear to have barcodes on them, but the barcodes don't scan, this might help -- if not, please disregard.

You may need to place a * character before and after the barcode value, like this:

*{{patron.card.barcode}}*

Good luck, and I hope this helps!
