Capturing The Source Data - Avery Berkel IM Series User Instructions

11.9 Capturing the source data

11.9 Capturing the source data
The supplier attaches a barcoded label (traceability passport) to the carcass containing
the information required.
Programming the machine with the same messages and data used by the supplier means
that you can print the data defined in the traceability barcode on all labels for associated
PLUs.
There are various ways in which the traceability data can be input to the machine.
• Use the Avery Berkel scanner to read the proprietary barcodes printed on the carcass
labels by the supplier.
• Use the keyboard to enter the references for each data item when a product is
selected.
• Use the Avery Berkel scanner to read the EAN128, PDF417 and RSS barcodes
containing all the required bovine data.
Note:
When variable format barcodes are used it is possible that more than one barcode will be
required to contain all the data. The system has been designed to cope with this.
Hash key
If a hash key has been assigned to the keyboard, you can enter the barcode digits
manually:
1. Press
2. Type in the barcode digits
3. Press
Use this method if you do not have a scanner or the scanner fails to read the barcode,
