Modifying The Barcode At Printtime

Legacy Poster

Hi,

 

i have the following request from a colleague, he has a generic barcode in  an excel-document with related information to that barcode.

 

This information is printed on a serialized label, but now he asks if it is possible to add the serialization to the barcode itself at printtime, so every product has his own unique barcode.

 

For example;

 

At this moment the printed, generic barcode is generated based on XYZ.1234567. In the Bartender inputform the operator indicates that there should be 5 labels printed, the printed barcodes should contain in the new situation:

XYZ.1234567-1

XYZ.1234567-2

XYZ.1234567-3

XYZ.1234567-4

XYZ.1234567-5

 

We user Bartender 10.1 Automation.

 

Best regards, Jos

  If I understand it correctly then all you would need to do is add a second sub-string to the barcode (by clicking on the icon to the bottom left of the Data Source screen) and make this is a serialisation string via the Transforms adjusting the settings for this to suit (such as.if the number rolls over to 0 after it reaches 100 for example).

   

  Depending on how the base number is generated the "-" would need to be added to the main sub-string or else in a new 3rd string (fixed/embedded data type) which is then moved/placed between the other two.
