Adding Barcode Prefixes

If you are going to scan multiple fields, you will need to create barcodes that contain a 1 or 2 digit prefix. This prefix identifies the field you are scan- ning. You may use this if you are transferring accounts from a different accounting system like the Paragon®, or from a set of pre-printed barcode labels that have a prefix as part of the barcode. You can then scan these barcodes when the Main screen displays IntelliLink® Control Center.

To set the prefix value:

1.Press the Menu key on the control center, then select Set Up.

2.Press the down arrow key and then select Barcode Scanner.

3.At the "Barcode Scanner Setup" menu, select Barcode Prefixes.

4.Select the Prefix Size and then select 1 or 2 whichever is appropriate.

5.Select the appropriate barcode prefix option according to the table here:

If your accounting	And the barcode	Select this barcode
system is:	contains:	prefix option:
	a prefix and Account	Account Name Prefix
	Name
Business Manager	a prefix and Account	Account Code Prefix

INVIEW™ or Budget	a prefix and Speed	Speed Code Prefix
	Code

6.When you select the barcode prefix, the default value for that option appears on the screen. To enter a new value, press the Clear key to remove the default, then type in the prefix character(s).

NOTE: Barcode prefixes are case-sensitive.

7.Press the Enter key.

8.As soon as you make your selection, the "Barcode Scanner Setup" menu reappears. You can make other selections or press the left arrow key to return to the Set Up menu.
