Setting Up Combination Barcodes

Combination barcodes can increase the efficiency of your scanner operations by combining multiple barcodes into a single barcode string. Use the Multi-Barcode Split form to set up combination barcodes. You can define which transactions will use combination barcodes and define the properties of those combination barcodes.

  1. Open the Multi-Barcode Split form.
  2. To set up a new combination barcode for a transaction, click New or select a blank line from the grid at the left. To modify an existing combination barcode, select it from the grid.
  3. Specify this information:
    Transaction Name
    Specify the name of a transaction. If you are modifying an existing combination barcode, this field is read only.
    Source Field
    Select the field in which the barcode will be scanned.
    Fixed Length
    Select to use a fixed character length to define different information types within the combination barcode. Clear to use a separator character to define different information types within the combination barcode.
    Mapping Separator
    This field is only available if Fixed Length is cleared. Specify a character to use as a separator.
    No of Fields
    Specify how many fields to include in the combination barcode.
  4. In the Target Field fields, select the fields to include in the combination barcode.
