Formatting

Type 2 barcodes must be formatted as such: 2xxxxxxyyyy#

• Where “2” must always equal 2, that is, the barcode must start with a “2”. This will not populate the Paladin Invoice/Quote screen when the barcode is scanned.
• “xxxxxx” represents a six digit all numaric part number. This will populate the Part Number field when scanned into the Paladin Invoice/Quote module.
• “yyyy” represents a four digit price. This will populate the Price field when scanned into the Paladin Invoice/Quote module.
• “#” is a check digit. It must be a single character digit. This will not populate the Paladin Invoice/Quote screen when the barcode is scanned.
