EAN 13 Emergency

Mar 03, 2009 4 Replies

Ok I have scales that are setup to print EAN13 barcodes with the weight.



Example



Item: Turkey Scale PLU: 43 Weight: .445 pounds



When we print the label it looks like this: 200043 904451



In RMS I have the EAN randon option checked in Manager.



The itemlookupcode for Turkey in RMS is set to: 200043000000



When I scan the barcode in RMS it wont pull up the item......what am I missing??



Im onsite, prompt response is appreicated.



you have to many 0 in the string. it doesn't matter if the barcode is UPCA or EAN you only enter 20004300000

Fundementaly the label from the macxhine is incorrectly formatted from weight embedded to price embedded. So the format is

02 or 20 for the two starting digit that idntifies this as a weight item IIIII next 5 digits are the SKU code on the scale PPP characters for the price DD price decimal C for check digit

So the code in RMS should be 2000043000000 - and if the totalprice came to 12.55 then the scale shoud print a label that says 2000043012550

Problem solved.

First, the scale was printing UPC barcode not EAN. So I had to check the Utilize UPC option instead of the EAN in RMS Manager.

Second, the item lookupcode had to be 2XXXXX00000, where X is the lookupcode from the scales database.

Thank you for your resp> Fundementaly the label from the macxhine is incorrectly formatted from
