6 Cnfiguring the Scale Barcde Parse Frmat Feature This feature allws yu t change the frmat that price embedded barcdes use. This feature is used in cnjunctin with a deli scale that can print the price embedded barcdes. Nrmally price embedded barcdes are 12 digits (i.e ), the first 6 digits will be the item number in CRE (first digit MUST be "2" i.e ) and the secnd 6 will determine the price (i.e = $99.99). This can be used when barcded items in yur establishment g ver a 4 digit price pint (i.e. $99.99). We will create tw examples (Custm Frmat and Regular Expressin) and describe the prcess that is required t switch frm using the Original Methd t either f the ther frmats. 6 P a g e

7 Cnfiguring the Scale Barcde Parse Frmat Feature 1. Select the Manager r Optins buttn. 2. Enter the administratr passwrd (default: admin) where applicable. 3. Select Setup then, Setup Screen. 4. Select the Invice Settings tab. 5. Under Scale Barcde Parse Frmat d ne f the fllwing ptins: Original Methd - This ptin uses the first 6 digits (starting with the number 2) fr the item number and the secnd 6 digits will cntain the 4 digit price in between the Verificatin and Check Digits (i.e ). Custm Frmat - This ptin requires a frmula t be entered in the field belw. Regular Expressin - This ptin als requires that a frmula be entered int the field belw. 7 P a g e

8 Custm Frmat The custm frmat example we will create, will have the barcde that will be prgrammed fr 14 digits. We will have a 2 which will precede the rest f the infrmatin then the item number in CRE (first 6 digits) and the remaining 7 digits will determine the price. This frmula will need t be structured in the fllwing frmat: The frmula must start with the number 2. Enter the letter A (capital) fr each f the PLU Placehlders yu wuld like t use. After entering the PLU Placehlders we will then need t enter a V (capitl) fr the verificatin digit. Enter the letter P (capital) fr each digit f the price as the Price Placehlders yu wuld like t use. Enter C (capitl) at the end f the frmula as the check digit. The frmula shuld then lk similar t this: 2AAAAAAVPPPPPC In this example we will be using the riginal frmat barcde f We will be changing this t a Custm Frmat t be able t charge mre than $99.99 fr the item (i.e. $125.99).

9 Regular Expressin The Regular Expressin frmat example we will create, will have the barcde that will be prgrammed fr 14 digits. We will have a 2 which will precede the rest f the infrmatin while keeping the riginal first 6 digits as the item number (in CRE) and the remaining 7 digits will determine the price. The frmat will need t be structured as fllws: The frmula must start with the number 2 we will then need t enter the places it will use in curly brackets {1}. Enter (?<PLU>\d{6}) yu can change the number frm 4 t the number f PLU placehlders. Enter \d{1} after the PLU placehlders, this is fr the verificatin digit. Enter (?<PRICE>\d{5}) yu can change the number frm 5 t the number f Price placehlders. Enter \d{1} after the Price placehlders, this is fr the check digit. The frmula shuld then lk similar t this: 2{1}(?<PLU>\d{6})\d{1}(?<PRICE>\d{5})\d{1} In this example we will be using the riginal frmat barcde f We will be changing this t a Regular Expressin Frmat t be able t charge mre than $99.99 fr the item (i.e. $125.99).

10 Switching Frm the Original Methd t ne f the Other Tw Expressins When using the Original Methd and need t charge mre than $99.99 as the price fr the item, yu can use ne f the afrementined frmulas. The inventry that yu have in yur system (frm using the riginal methd) can still be used but sme changes will need t be made n the scale: As the scale prints price embedded barcdes like this: And after cnfiguring either f the previusly described frmulas, CRE/RPE will be expecting a barcde like this: We will need t cnfigure the deli scale t print a 2 then the full item number frm inventry maintenance: We will then need the verificatin digit. 0 Then the 5 digits fr the price: And finally the check digit: 0 10 P a g e
