When creating barcodes for scanning multiple account fields you need to create barcodes that contain a 1 or 2 digit prefix. Use Accounting Prefixes 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 meter reads the value of the field and enters that value in the appropriate field in Run Mail.

  1. Select Settings from the Home screen.
  2. Select System.
  3. Select Scanner Settings.
  4. Select the Accounting Prefixes tab. The default prefixes assigned to the account fields appear.
    • Account Name - A$
    • Account Code - C$
    • Job Name - P$
    • Job ID 1 - J$
    • Job ID 2 - K$
  5. Select the desired field and enter 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 contains a different prefix, enter that value.
  6. Select Home to return to the Home screen.
