Printing Barcodes

I ma trying to print product barcodes from Tools>Print Barcodes. I get the following error:

barcode_encode needs an external programm for encodings other then EAN/ISBN
download gnu-barcode from www.gnu.org/software/barcode/
compile and install them
download genbarcode from www.ashberg.de/bar/
compile and install them
specify path the genbarcode in barcode module setup

Bad Value 1408-000001 for encoding EAN

Do we need to install gnu-barcode and genbarcode on the server running dolibarr or on local linux workstation printing barcodes from?

Thanks

You selected EAN as barcode type, but your barcode is not EAN. EAN is 12 digits, 13’th digit is checksum, calculated by genarator.
You have to request an official EAN range if you want to generate EAN codes for your products.
The simplest barcode type for your code is CODE39 (Alpha numeric and a few special chars like your dash).
There are some barcode related modules on Dolistore which can help you.

Thanks fappels.

I was able to delete all barcodes and regenerate them using the barcode mass init feature in dolibarr.
