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
- 02= Ignore
- 00001= PLU
- 1327= Price
- 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
- 2= Ignore
- 11400= PLU
- 30= Ignore
- 688= Price
- 7= Ignore
