Adding Barcode Prefixes

If you want to create barcodes with a prefix, you can set up your
system to recognise this prefix when you scan the barcode. This
prefix identifies whether you are scanning in an account name,
account code, custom preset or job ID.
You may use prefixes from a set of pre-printed barcode labels that
have a prefix as part of the barcode. Using these barcodes allows
you to scan directly into the Home Screen.
It is possible to set the system so that it will recognise either a 1 or 2
character header, this must be set before using the barcode scanner.
To set the prefix characters:
1. Press Options.
2. Select "Setup".
3. Page down and select "Configure USB Scanner".
4. At the USB Barcode Scanner Settings menu, select "Prefix
Setup".
5. Select the Prefix Size and then select 1 or 2 whichever is
appropriate.
6. Select the appropriate prefix option to change the default for your
system.
Barcode Prefix Contains
Account Name Prefix
Speed Code Prefix
Preset Prefix
Job ID Prefix
7. When you select the prefix option, the default value for the option
appears on the screen. To enter a new value, press C (Clear) to
remove the default, then type in the prefix character(s).
8. Press Enter, the USB Barcode Scanner Settings menu
reappears. You can make other selections or press C (Clear) to
return to the Setup menu.
