Show Scanned Scale Item Weight

(Maitre'D 2005, from Service Pack 3 and later versions of 2005)

P.O.S. Control

To allow the Scanner function to calculate and display the weight from a bar code containing the price of the pre-weighted scale item, add the following configuration key and value in the [Miscellaneous] section of the Bo.ini file under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory:

ShowScaleItemWeight=True

Note: The price on the label divided by the price of the weighted item per unit in Maitre'D gives the resulting weight.

Note: When modifying the Bo.ini, first stop the Server through Server Control, then exit both the Server Control and P.O.S. Control modules, modify the Bo.ini Configuration Key and Value, and only then start the Server again before redoing workstation data.

For the Bar Code With Price to accept standard UPC2 random weight layout, add the following configuration keys and values in the Pos??.ini file under the C:\Posera\MaitreD\Data directory. (you will need to do it for every Pos Ex.: Pos01.ini, Pos02.ini)

Upc2RandomWeight=True
Upc2PluLength=xx (default is 5)
Upc2PriceLength=xx (default is 4)

Note: Bar Code with Price option must also be enabled in P.O.S. Control / View / Options / Configuration / Option

Here is an example of an UPC2 weight layout label, with the standard 2 Prefix, a PLU Length of 6, and a Price Length of 6.
