Configuring
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 Settin� the Defau��t 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 Addin� Barcode Prefixes.
• If you need to combine multiple barcode scans into a single barcode,
refer to Combinin� 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 Settin� Auto-Enter.
