Barcode
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.
