Code39 Examples

When using the barcode generator tool in Koha with the code39 settings, the
barcode image it generates is not a code39 barcode and thus can't be read by
our book scanners at checkout desks. I'm not sure what type of barcode it is
but the generated image does not have the telltale opening and closing lines of
a code39. 

I've attached two screenshots. The first is from the Koha tool with the
non-working barcode. 

The second is from another barcode generating tool that makes a barcode exactly
the same as the one on the book I have (already in the catalog). 

The number it is using is 34517100048832

We're new to Koha so this has been happening since we started using it this
summer. Expected behavior would be for it to generate the correct barcode image
for a code39 barcode.
