Combining Barcodes
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 "join character" at the end of the first 30
characters. These first 30 characters, with the join 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.
1. Press the Menu key.
2. Select "Setup."
3. Press the green down arrow key and select "Configure USB
Scanner." The USB Barcode Scanner Settings screen displays.
4. Select "Concatenate Char." The Concatenate Character screen
displays.
5. Select the character you use to combine the barcode values. The
system returns to the USB Barcode Scanner settings screen.
6. Press Enter if you have finished making your changes to the
scanner settings.

When you scan in these three barcodes, the system
will combine them into a single barcode value (e.g.
SCANNERTESTBARCODEVALUE).
NOTE: When creating your own barcodes, create them in
uppercase. If you create them in lowercase, the length of the
barcode will be twice that of the same barcode created using
uppercase text.
The following is an example using a + symbol as a join character.
