OPOS Scanner. This shows the starting character and length
of the price for scale items in a barcode. For example, Product Code is 2,4 and Price is 7,4 and the entire barcode is 13 digits in
length. From this setup we know that the product code starts from the 2nd
digit and is 4 characters in length and price starts from the 7th digit and
is 4 characters in length. For example, onions are setup in the Product
Master as a scale item with code 1001 priced at $3.94/kg. This item will be
scanned in POS as XppppXppppXXX where X denotes a zero, 1st set of p is product and 2nd set of p is price. If a customer buys
$10.68 of onions, the Barcode format printed by the scale is: 0100101068000. Customer Display is a
separate screen to display item records as they are processed. This the location or path which contains the images to be displayed.
Images can be stored locally or on the network.
