Traceability barcodes
Used for fixed, non AI barcodes received from suppliers.
A traceability barcode format defines the information conveyed by the printed bars in the
barcode in a similar way to a label or receipt barcode. Traceability barcodes are based on
digits, for example 00000006666661122335544.
The default barcode format is:
00000044551122
6 digit carcass/lot number + 2digit slaughter reference + 2 digit cutting reference + 2 digit
origin message 1 + 2digit origin message 2 = 14 digits
Example:
1234560101050114 digits
6 digit carcass/lot number= 123456
2 digit slaughter reference= 01 = UK (1143)
2 digit cutting reference= 01 = UK (19985)
2 digit origin message 1= 05 = Scotland
2 digit origin message 2= 01 = UK
Example:The maximum number of barcode digits you can specify in the barcode format
The barcode digit in the first column of the table is also entered in the traceability format,
see page 182, so the machine knows how to print bovine details on the label.
