1. Navigate to Menu > Setup > General
2. Scroll down to the Use barcode templates toggle under General

2. Enter a code matching your barcode into the Template field e.g. 2XXXXXX$$$CC
3. Select Done

Code Options for Template Setup

Barcode templates are made of multiple parts which are specified by letters, these letters then transform the barcode into a quantity or a price (or both) as well as identify the product.

The following codes are available to use:

You can use any other character as a literal character that will appear on the barcode.

If you wish to use one of the codes as a literal value, you'll need to escape it by using a backward slash ("\") (e.g. if you wish to use the letter "Q" on the barcode you have to write it as "\Q").

Common Formats

• Wedderburn Deli Scales: 2XXXXX$$$CC?
