Defining the Concatenate Scans Join Character

If you need to combine multiple barcode scans into a single barcode, use this setup option. For example, the typical barcode scanner can only accept a maximum of 30 characters. If you want to scan an account name that contains more than 30 characters, say 50 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 system will combine them into a single barcode account value.

To select the join character for combining multiple barcode scans:

  1. Select the Settings button on the Home screen.

  2. The Settings screen displays. Select System from the list on the left side of the screen.

  3. Select Scanner Settings.
  4. Select the Concatenate Scans tab. The screen displays the available join characters.
  5. Select Done to return to the Home screen.
