11.11 Counter service operation
In counter service you can scan the barcoded information from the tray label for the
product, or you can type in the lot number at the keyboard and the machine will print it on
the label or receipt.
Tray labelling
Where the product is packed in the presence of the customer, it is not necessary to print
all the carcass/batch details on each label or receipt, provided that the information is
clearly displayed and obviously intended for that product.
The system enables you to assign a panel key to print `tray labels' for use in this mode of
operation. You can use this key to print a counter service tray label for each tray of
product on sale.
Tray labelling can be used in non-preset and preset modes.
Setting up the key
1. Create a PLU called `Tray Label'.
2. Select a label format for the PLU that has the relevant text fields included.
Tray labels usually have larger print than pack labels and the field needs to be large
enough to allow all the information to be printed.
3. Enter the text required and the appropriate %% or Dewey Decimal codes in one of the
PLU text fields.
4. Step through the remaining options except unit or item price without entering any data.
5. Select Traceability On.
6. Assign the key to the sales keyboard.
Note: You will need to program the PLU with a nominal unit or item price, but check that
the label format selected has no fields for printing weight or price information.
