As long as there is some difference between the pick ticket and parts bin barcode format, the EP1 can determine

if the user has made mistakes like scanning 2 pick tickets in a row, or scanning 2 parts bins in a row, and will

report any such deviation as an error. In the example shown above there are two differences between the parts

bin and pick ticket barcode. One difference is that the length of the part number is not the same, and the other is

that one uses a 1D format and the other a 2D format.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When choosing parts bin barcodes, the parts bin label can be either a label

directly on the part from the supplier, or it can be the label on the parts bin itself. But once a barcode is

chosen for error proofing, then the operator must stick with that barcode unless a decision is made to

change which barcode to scan. If a decision is made to change the parts bin barcode, then the “Parts bin

setup” on page 20 would have to be performed again while scanning the proper barcode label.

2.) Job Sequence Number: These labels will contain numbers that are in order. It is recommended that this

mode be used mainly to double-check your work. An example would be to use the part number mode at

station 1 to check the parts loaded onto a rack. When the rack arrives at station 2, a second scanner would

be used to check each part for the correct Job Sequence Numbers (JSN) before shipping. A typical label

will resemble figure 8 and each number scanned after the first should be in sequence or an alarm will sound.

3.) JSN/Part Number: This mode generates the most thorough checking. A pick ticket will have both a job

sequence number and part number so two checks are performed at once. A pick ticket barcode label will

contain a dot (a period) separating the job sequence number and part number (ex. 1234567.12345678)

( JSN.PARTNUMBER).

4.) Each scan will then check for a part number that is different (unless you have checked the Dual JSN box)

and a correct sequence number.

When you request a pick ticket barcode be printed for this mode you must request the following format:

Job Sequence Number. Part Number
