Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Scannable barcode font in web client receipts
There are a couple of things to remember about printing barcodes on receipts.
All printed barcodes have start and stop digits. These digits are not part of
the number but must be part of the printed barcode. Printing barcodes will not
work with out them.
The other major thing is that the barcode font you are using will need to be
added on every computer that you are printing them at. OR the receipt printer
cannot translate the barcode.
B{{patron.card.barcode}}D .
In the example above I use the font: CodabarMedium, and you will notice the
“B” and “D” around the Patron’s barcode.

Good morning,
Is anybody using scannable barcodes in receipts in the web client?
I had been using them in the past (XUL client) but after upgrading to the web
client, creating new receipt templates did not seem to work. Currently running
3.4.
There is interest in scannable barcodes to streamline contactless pick up
services.
Thanks!

It may also be possible to find (or build?) an image generator for several barcode symbologies so it’s just a matter of http://server.org/barcode?num=1234&type=code39>”> etc. Image support is certainly more widespread than web fonts and I don’t know what WOFF support is like for the old-ish Safari-related core that JavaFX uses.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Scannable barcode font in web client receipts
Hi Lindsay, There are a few variations on Code-39 and Code-128 WOFF font families that we could use. I'm not sure of the process for embedding them in Evergreen OTTOMH, but once included it should just be a matter of CSS to make use of them -- though hatch-based printing may cause some problems, I'm not sure. I think a launchpad wishlist bug is in order! https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Libre+Barcode+39 Thanks, -- Mike Rylander | Research and Development Manager | Equinox Open Library Initiative | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: mi...@equinoxinitiative.org | web: http://equinoxinitiative.org On Tue, Jun 9, 2020 at 10:05 AM Lindsay Stratton wrote: > > Good morning, > > Is anybody using scannable barcodes in receipts in the web client? > > I had been using them in the past (XUL client) but after upgrading to the web > client, creating new receipt templates did not seem to work.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fwd: damaged item override
Diane, "Damaged Item Override" is the billing type that applies to the situation where an item was marked Damaged, and the staff user entered a different amount in the confirmation box than Evergreen calculated to charge the patron. I don't believe it's new. Hope this helps, Michele -- Michele M.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Fwd: damaged item override
Good morning - Is this a new way to say Damaged? I don't remember seeing this wording before but have seen it twice today on two different patron accounts at two different branches. Insights?
