C128 barcode cannot be read?

denihanca commented 7 years ago

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

SNIPE IT generates a QR code of item's URL and a C128 barcode of the asset's ID. An external barcode scanner will then be able to read the data.

Actual Behavior

QR code generated and read successfully. C128 barcode was generated, but cannot be read by external barcode scanner.

Please confirm you have done the following before posting your bug report:

[v] I have enabled debug mode
[v] I have read [checked the Common Issues page](https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/common-issues

Please provide answers to these questions before posting your bug report:

Version of Snipe-IT you're running: v3.6.2 build 10 (g927a12f)
What OS and web server you're running Snipe-IT on: Windows, Apache on XAMPP
What method you used to install Snipe-IT (install.sh, manual installation, docker, etc): manual
WITH DEBUG TURNED ON, if you're getting an error in your browser, include that error: no error message was trigerred
What specific Snipe-IT page you're on, and what specific element you're interacting with to trigger the error: related barcode generation functions, tecnickcom\tc-lib-barcode
If a stacktrace is provided in the error, include that too: no error
Any errors that appear in your browser's error console: no error
Confirm whether the error is reproduceable on the demo: yes confirmed. Try creating new asset and then generating label with setting alt barcode type (1D barcode type) = C128
Include any additional information you can find in app/storage/logs and your webserver's logs: no error
Include what you've done so far in the installation, and if you got any error messages along the way: no error
Indicate whether or not you've manually edited any data directly in the database: nothing directly related to barcode generation functions

This here is the barcode generated through the snipe-it demo site. I cannot get a read out of it from my barcode scanner. Can anyone confirm? )

Just tried the 1D barcode on my v3.6.2 build 10 (g927a12f) installation (hosted) and it doesn't seem to be working either. This is the barcode that I tried:

UTAS1 commented 7 years ago

We have to use a painful workaround using Excel and a Word mail merge to generate barcodes that work as none of our scanners will read the Snipe generated label.

We are using v3.6.2 build 10 (g927a12f) (Hosted)

Had the same problem. It seems to be a scaling issue. Solution mentioned by Bret Fagerlund in https://github.com/snipe/snipe-it/issues/3425 takes care of the problem for me.
