Adding
Barcode
Prefixes
If your barcodes include a 1 or 2-digit prefix, or if you want to create bar-
codes with a prefix, you can set up your system to recognize this prefix
when you scan the barcode. This prefix identifies whether you are scan-
ning in an account name or account code. You may use this if you are
transferring accounts from a different accounting system like the Paragon,
or from a set of pre-printed barcode labels that have a prefix as part of the
barcode. You can then scan these barcodes directly from the Main screen
on IntelliLink® Control Center display.
To set the prefix value:
1. Press the
Menu key on the control center, then select Set Up.
2. Press the down arrow key and then select
Barcode Scanner.

Barcode Prefixes.
