I've some doubts about this. "Grepping" the directory I've found a getbarcode sub defined in the Scan.pm module, but it's void. So... where's the code for using a barcode reader in koha? I've more doubts but I think it will be solved when I see the code... :-) This questions are done because one of my goals, appart from the Spanish translation, is to develop a module to give koha RFID readers support.

I don't understand your question : barcode reading is an OS level problem. Not a koha one. When a barcode is read, it's like if the code had been typed on keyboard. I've a barcode reader on my mandrake, connected through keyboard interface, and it works perfectly nice. Note that Scan.pm maybe a vacuum-cleaner miss :-) -- Paul

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm! Sorry, I've never used a barcode reader and I didn't notice that it's used as a keyboard... But... if you're using the keyboard plug for the barcode reader... where are you pluggin your keyboard? erm... or is it the barcode reader plugged directly into the koha server which does not need a keyboard? is it? or has a workstation just for reading barcodes in each client? Erm... do we have a case diagram about how koha works? I think I'm missing a lot of points, sorry :'-((((

hehe... there's a wrapper in the barcode reader : the keyboard is connected to the barcode, which is connected to the computer. Thus, you can use any os (some barcodes are on usb or serial port, and require a specific driver) And thus again, if your barcode is dirty and not readable by the reader, you can type it with your keyboard :-) -- Paul
