Non PLU Price Inclusive Codes
The NON-PLU Code program must be set if you wish to scan UPCs (using the EAN 13 code) with
embedded prices, weights or quantities.
Within the EAN 13 code, the first two digits (part a) are used as an identifier and the last digit (part c) is
used as a check digit. The remaining 10 digits (part b) contain the Item code and price
(or weight or
quantity).
021234500250
There are 11 identifier numbers available for non-PLU code programming: “02” and “20” through “29”.
The purpose of this program is to define the format of the 10 digit part b for each possible identifier. For
example:
The structure of Non PLU identifier “02” can be defined to use 5 digits for the product code and 5 digits
for the price, and then the structure of Non PLU identifier “20” can be defined to use 6 digits for the
product code and 4 digits for the price.
PLU#02 PLU#20 Etc..
This is the format type of the barcode, within this section the barcode layout is
defined. The first two digits of the barcode define the barcode type
Length Of Field 1 (=PLU
Code)
The digits immediately following the two digit barcode definition are the
manufacturer s product code, this will be the PLU code for the item. This can
change in length depending on the manufacturer. It is necessary to define how
many digits are to be used for this format type
Length Of Field 2
This is usually the price field although there are alternatives. The length of this
field can vary for different barcode types. The length is defined in this field
Content Of Field 2 This defines the content of field two the norm is the price
Use Price Check Digit?
Some barcode formats use a check digit to ensure the price of the product has
been included within the barcode correctly. It must be determined which method
is used and programmed in this field
Tab Or Decimal Point Of
Field 2
This is used to determine the number of decimal places for the price of the Item
PLU Verify
This checks the PLUs to ensure no erroneous links have been made, due to incorrect data transfer from PC or USB. I.e
A PLU has been linked to mix and match 200, when only 50 are in the system. The following PLU links are checked.
- Stock Link PLU - Piece Count
- Modifier Quantity - Product Mix
- Group - Mix and Match
- PLU Status Group - Screen List
a) identifier
b) product code & price
c) check digit
