Products affected: SendPro® MailCenter 1000, SendPro® MailCenter 2000, SendPro® MailCenter 3000
To combine multiple barcode scans into one barcode, define the concatenate join characters first.
The typical barcode scanner can only accept a maximum of 30 characters. If you are scanning an account name that contains more than 30 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 meter combines them into a single barcode account value.
The available join characters are:
- + (plus)
- % (percent)
- . (period)
- / (forward slash)
- Select Settings from the Home screen.
- Select System.
- Select Scanner Settings.
- Select the Concatenate Scans tab and then select the appropriate character.
- Select Home to return to the Home screen.
