Scanning Lotto Tickets

Once the stock item has been set up you will be able to scan any lotto ticket that is printed from your lotto terminal. Simply scan the POS Barcode with your scanner and the price will automatically be picked up from the barcode. The description will be taken from the stock items we have just set up.  

Plastic Lotto Wallet

The plastic Lotto Wallet for Customers to store their tickets in has a Price Embedded Barcode.
This will scan with a PLU of X7480 and contains the price in the barcode. At time of writing, this is $3.
If you are happy with this price create a Stock Item with the PLU of X7480 and set the Sell Price to $0.
If you would like to charge a different price, set the sell price to the price you wish to charge and print a barcode label for each plastic wallet.
Do not scan the Barcode starting with 0287 printed on the physical wallet.
