Barcodes are not printing in reports on Windows 7
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
- Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care
Problem Symptoms:
* Barcodes do not print in Aleph reports (general retrieval report by collection as an example)
* Columns exist for the barcodes, but prints blanks
Cause:
Switching to Internet Explorer 9 requires a new set of Carolina barcode fonts to be used in the xsl forms in order to print barcodes.
Resolution:
1. In all server-side xsl forms, replace the existing Carolina barcode font names with the new ones.
For example, in the file funcs-split.xsl, replace:
<td STYLE="font-family=CarolinaBar-B39-2.5-22x158x720;">
with:
<td STYLE="font-family=CarolinaBar-B39-25G0;">
2. Run util i/6 to create print template package for the PC Client.
3. Restart the PC server by using util w/3/3.
4. Restart the GUI
* For existing GUI installations, do as follows:
1. Copy the InstallFonts.cmd file to the C:\Windows\sysWOW64 directory.
2. Right-click the file and select the "Run as Administrator" option.
3. Restart Windows after the installation.
4. Note that InstallFonts.cmd prompts the user to reboot. If the user selects "No", the reboot must be done manually
* For new GUI installations use gui500.exe including the new InstallFonts.cmd
