Prefixes

If your barcodes include a 1 or 2-digit prefix, or if you want to create bar- codes with a prefix, you can set up your system to recognize this prefix when you scan the barcode. This prefix identifies whether you are scan- ning in an account name or account code. 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 directly from the Main screen on IntelliLink® Control Center display.

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 prefix option according to the table here:

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.
