You can set up the optional barcode scanner to help you control how barcodes are scanned, entered, and tested in the meter.

The options available are:

  • The Default Scan type tab allows you to specify the type of account field the scanner will search for when it scans a barcode that does not contain a prefix.
  • The Accounting Prefixes tab allows you to use barcodes to automatically enter information on the Run Mail screen (for example, the account name).
  • The Concatenate Scans tab contains the characters you can use to join multiple barcodes into a single scan.
  • The Barcode Auto-Enter tab allows you to turn on or off the ability of the system to automatically enter data scanned from a barcode into the SendPro MailCenter screen without forcing the operator to press the Enter key after the barcode is completely scanned.
  • The Scanner Diagnostics tab allows you to verify what is actually being read by the scanner in the barcode without having to run mail.
