Product Selection
Linx 7900
5.1.3 Configure the second product selection
To create a second product selection for the ‘SMALL BEANS’ product, you can repeat the
steps that you performed to create the ‘LARGE BEANS’ product selection, and then change
the parameters as required.
Alternatively, you can use the Manage Products page to create a copy of the ‘LARGE
BEANS’ product selection (see ‘Manage and edit product selections’ on page 23). Then do
the following to create the ‘SMALL BEANS’ product selection.
• Edit the value of the ‘Product Name Field’ remote field (you do not need to edit the
‘Batch Field’ because the value is taken from the barcode scan).
• Change the Product Name field on the Product Setup page to ‘SMALL BEANS’.
• Edit the date offsets, as required.
• Scan the new product barcode to input the new product key.
NOTE: If the two products have different print parameters (for example, Print Delay or
Print Height), you can use the Apply button on the edit pages to make some test
prints until they are correct (see ‘Edit product selection parameters’ on page 22).
Save the new product selection with a memorable name (for example, ‘SMALL BEANS’),
and then scan the barcode to make sure that the product selection operates correctly.
IMPORTANT: If you use a barcode reader to scan products on a production line, there can
be a delay in the message selection when you change the product
selections. If the speed of the message selection is important, Linx
recommends that you do not use a barcode reader on a production line.
Example product selections
When the barcode data ‘C13622914Q446’ is scanned, the product selection creates the
‘LARGE BEANS’ message in Figure 35 on page 25. ‘C136’ is the product key, ‘22914’
represents the sell-by date, and ‘Q446’ is the batch number.
When the barcode data ‘C14022614Q879’ is scanned, the product selection creates the
‘SMALL BEANS’ message in Figure 35 on page 25. ‘C140’ is the product key, ‘22614’
represents the sell-by date, and ‘Q879’ is the batch number.
