14Configuring the Optional Barcode Scanner
If you have an optional barcode scanner attached to your DM500™and DM550™ Digital Mailing System, you can configure it to scan in account names or account codes if you are using the optional Bud- get Manager or Business Manager accounting systems.
NOTE 1: You cannot scan in account names using a barcode scanner if you are using the Standard Accounting package provided with your system.
NOTE 2:You can use a barcode scanner to scan in barcodes for electronic con- firmation services regardless of the accounting system you are using. Electronic confirmation services do not require any set up operations here.
Refer to the appropriate topic in this section:
•If you are using an accounting system on your DM500™ or DM550™ System you can set the default scan type so that your system recog- nizes your particular accounting application when it scans the barcode. Refer to Setting the Default Scan Type.
•If you are attempting to scan barcodes that were defined for other ac- counting systems and those accounts contain a prefix, you can set up your system to recognize that prefix when it scans in the barcode. Re- fer to Adding Barcode Prefixes.
•If you need to combine multiple barcode scans into a single barcode, refer to Combining Barcodes.
•If you want your system to require an operator to press the Enter key to accept each barcode value after it is scanned and displayed on the IntelliLink® Control Center screen, refer to Setting
