Use the Accounting Prefixes tab to define the prefixes. You can use this if you are transferring
accounts from another accounting system or from a set of pre-printed barcodes.
As you scan a barcode, the system reads the value of the field and enters that value in the appropriate
field in the Run Mail screen. For example, if the barcode contains:
l
t<example>
To define the prefixes:
1. Select Settings under Mailing on the Home screen.
2. Select System from the list on the left side of the screen.
3. Select Scanner Settings.
4. Select the Accounting Prefixes tab. The screen displays the default prefixes assigned to the
account fields.
l
Account Name - A$
l
Account Code - C$
l
Job Name - P$
l
Job ID 1 - J$
l
Job ID 2 - K$
5. Select the field or fields and type in the appropriate prefix. For example, if you are scanning
barcodes that contain account codes beginning with the prefix C$, you can use the default
value. If the account code contain a different prefix enter that value.
Combining multiple barcodes into a single scan
If you need to combine multiple barcode scans into a single barcode, you will need to define
concatenate join characters. For example, the typical barcode scanner can only accept a maximum of
30 characters. If you want to scan an account name that contains more than 30 characters, say 50
characters, you add a "concatenation character" at the end of the first 30 characters. These first 30
characters with the concatenation character at the end, would be on the first line and the second 20
characters would be on the second line. When you scan these two barcode lines, the system will
combine them into a single barcode account value.
To select the join character for combining multiple barcode scans:
1. Select Settings under Mailing on the Home screen.
2. Select System from the list on the left side of the screen.
3. Select Scanner Settings.
