Weigh and Print Your Produce:

Place your produce on the deli scale.

Print the barcode label from the deli scale. (using the barcode you can determine the PLU)

Determine the PLU (Price Look-Up Code):

For a 13-digit barcode:

Ignore the first 2 digits and start looking at the 5 digits after that.

Use the next 5 digits as the PLU.(as you can see the PLU for this barcode is 00001)

Example Barcode 13 digit 0 200001 132759

  1. 02= Ignore

  2. 00001= PLU

  3. 1327= Price

  4. 59= Ignore

For a 12-digit barcode:

Ignore the first digit.

Use the next 5 digits as the PLU. (as you can see the PLU for this barcode is 11400)

Example Barcode 12 digit 211400 306887

  1. 2= Ignore

  2. 11400= PLU

  3. 30= Ignore

  4. 688= Price

  5. 7= Ignore
