Prompt What You Do
DEPT ?
Enter up to 5 numeric digits.
PRICE ? Enter up to 4 numeric digits. Do Not enter a decimal point or
dollar sign. Those characters are automatically printed.
Note:
♦ The printer lists the system date (04/18/02) that you entered when you
first turned the printer on.
♦ The bar code consists of data from two other fields. Note that in the
example above, bar code characters 2-5 (numbered right to left) is the
price (5604) and characters 7-11 is the department (75120). If you
enter less than the maximum number of digits in either field, the
printer zero-pads the data from the left in the bar code.
♦ Character 6 is also a check digit (in addition to character 1).
♦ Character 12 is fixed. It indicates that the bar code is defined to
contain specially-defined data.
♦ If you receive error 571, you have entered too few digits in the
department or price fields.
