Barcode Reader Setup
A barcode is an optical machine-readable representation of data. Barcodes are used to quickly order items. Workstation operators scan barcodes using barcode scanners attached to workstations. When a barcode is scanned, the workstation software processes the data and matches it with a menu item configured in the Simphony database.
The Barcodes module in the EMC lets you configure barcode menu
item ordering. The Barcodes module allows you to:
-
Associate many different barcodes with the same menu item (for example, pricing chewing gum items the same).
-
Associate two different prices of one definition with different barcodes (for example, small or large coffee).
-
Use a maximum of 14-digit barcode.
