Dear Collegues,
My library purchased a Gryphon M100 433Mhz and opticon scanners which
we’ve been using to scan barcodes at the library’s circulation
desk. Here are examples of Barcodes numbers generated by our software vendor;
The library has a collection of 40,000 volumes. A few months ago we
decided to migrate to Koha and I have already loaded all the records in Koha.
However, it seems the barcodes in Alice Graduate 6.0 were entered as
R110483232, R493213232, R004053232. This means the letters M, N and Y were
ignored. The current challenge I have is how I could configure the gryphon M100
scanner to ignore the letters. If not, are there changes I could do in koha to
ignore the 7th digit? All I am trying to avoid is to manually type
the 7th Digit for the 40,000+ volumes!
Kindly help.
