Sample of pdf  output when autobarcode is set to "<branch>yymm00001"

Overview:

Setting the autobarcode preference in Administration to generate barcodes in
the form "<branch>yymm00001" exports blank barcode labels in the Label Creator
(it prints out the digit/letters but not the barcode lines)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set barcode preference under Administration > Cataloging > Record Structure
> autobarcode >  Barcodes are generated in the form "<branch>yymm00001"

2. Add items with barcodes generated using the preference above to a batch
under Tools > Label Creator and export batch

3. Select any template and  layout and export

4. Download as PDF and open resulting file

Actual Results

The resulting pdf contains all the bibliographic and barcode (digits and
letters) information but not the actual barcode lines. See attachment labelled
"Labels without barcode"

The intranet error log (/var/log/koha/instancename/intranet-error.log) of the
Koha instance produces the following error results:

Expected Results:

Exported pdf labels should include all bibliographic and barcode data,
including actual barcode lines. 

Setting the autobarcode preference to generate in the form <year>-0001,
<year>-0002 results in all the data, including barcode lines, being generated
and printed.

Build Date and Hardware:

Occurred in both Koha 3.18 and 3.20 running on Ubuntu Server 14.04 (both on a
vps and dedicated server)

Additional Information:

I'm running a Koha install with multiple instances. Error occurs in the one
instance that has autobarcode generating in <branchcode>yymm0001 and not in the
other instances where it is set to generate in <year>-0001, <year>-0002


This is my first time posting a bug, please do forgive me if i've broken any
bug writing guidelines :) I'm not sure what severity level to give the bug so i
left it at the default.

Kind regards,

Lennon Mazonde
