POS sales “cashes out” in the middle of sale
Saturday, January 10th, 2009This problem is due to items being scanned too quickly in Cougar Mountain. To prevent this, adjust the “Reread” and “Good Read” delays on your barcode scanner. For the Handheld 3800g (Substruct’s recommend barcode imaging device) print or scan the barcode bellow. “Medium” speed is recommended for both.
Short barcodes are not scanning correctly
Thursday, August 28th, 2008Short barcodes on some merchandise may not scan correctly by default. These barcodes use the UPCE (usually UPCE0) symbology, and most aliases are stored in your Cougar Mountain installation in the standard 12 digit UPCA format. For reference, Ace sends down UPC information in UPCA format. To enable your scanner to convert UPCE to UPCA, do the following:
Symbol MC50 or MC9000 handheld scanners
- From the Start screen, click on Scan Wedge in the bottom right hand corner of the home screen.
- Click Config
- Click Codes
- Make sure UPCE0 is checked
- Highlight UPCE0 and click Param
- Click Cnvt to UPCA to switch the value to True.
Handheld Products (or Honeywell) 3800G
Print and scan the following “On” barcode.
