 DFS
There is an initial trial period of 90 days, during which you are allowed access to all the modules.
At the end of this period, access to the modules is restricted.
To activate them, you will need to contact Dibal to apply for a license.
Email: [email protected]\
Tel.:(+34)94 452 15 10
Fax.:(+34)94 452 36 58

There are three types of license providing access to the different modules:
1. Complete: Access to the customised list and multishop
2. DLD: Access to DLD.
3. Complete + DLD: Access to all the modules, customised list, multishop
and DLD

Once the license code is requested, it must be copied into the “License Code” field and
Activate/Deactivate must be pressed.
Once the license is validated, the lower box will be updated and display the status of each of the
modules depending on the license activated.

Example:
Imagine we want to do a backup of a Data Base (sys_datos_dfs).Firstly we have to export it to a
.sql file. To do this menu “4.3.1 Data base-> Backup”

Sys_datos_dfs

- Configuration 1 Export
- Vendors 1
- Artícles 1
- …

Copy.sql

If we want to work with the copy of sys_datos_dfs we need to import the .sql file to the new DB
called sys_datoscopy_dfs. To do this menu “4.3.2 Data base-> Restore

Sys_datoscopy_dfs

Import
- Configuration 1
- Vendors 1
Copy.sql - Artícles 1
- …

In this way, we can have saved backups of differents data bases, that can be recovered at any
time.

In this section you can create the barcodes and subsequently assign them to a section or article or
assign them as global.

Pressing on add appears the Bar code screen.

The set of characters A enables upper case letters and numbers.
The set of characters B enables upper case letters, lower case letters and numbers.
The set of characters C only enables numbers and these must ALWAYS even. It is up to the user to
ensure that the set of characters C includes an EVEN number of characters or the format will be
incorrect.

Once created, they are assigned to the required location.

- Global: Menu Data(7)/programmable EANs
o 10 EAN 13
o 1 EAN 128
- Section: Menu Texts(4)/Sections
o 1 EAN 13
o 1 EAN 128 (48 characters)  if the EAN is greater than 48 characters, it is shortened on
sending it to the scale.
- Article: Menu articles/Article, Texts 1-10 tab.
Select Texts/EAN 128 with the following options:
-10 article texts but there is no EAN/Code128
-9 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 24 characters long
-8 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 48 characters long
-7 texts + 1 EAN 128 which is 72 characters long
In the dropdown format EAN 128 options menu, enter the format. You see how the EAN
data is distributed among texts 7, 8 and 9 of the article.

If an EAN longer than is permitted for printing is entered, the program will shorten it without prior
notice.
The L does not have section EANs.

The structure of an EAN128 is as follows:

INICIO + FNC1+ IA→DATOS + IA→DATOS +..........
If there are no FCN1 characters, it will be considered a CODE 128 and there will be no detection of IAs.

To select the origin of the EAN-128, program the “EAN128 Format” setting ( Menu 3.6 .8 ) with one of
the following values:
- 0: The Global EAN will be printed.
- 1: the section EAN will be printed.
- 2: The article EAN will be printed.

If a Section EAN or an article EAN is selected and they are not programmed, the Global EAN will be
printed.
If the Global EAN is not programmed, nothing will be printed.

To print an EAN/CODE 128 you need to add the label’s field 54. In this way you can have an
EAN/CODE 128 and an EAN13 on the same label at the same time.

To drag, you must click on the name of the field and drag up. The level of structuring depends on our
needs, since we could have them sorted by name and code.

Once dragged, we would have name and code parameters dragged, and the rest of parameters, we
would find the bar, these can be modified.

10 EXAMPLE 2
10.1 Item or Article with beef-type traceability:
Here, we are going to define the traceability of the article, particularly belonging to a new beef-type
class. This class refers to our article, which may belongs to a certain class such as: beef, fish, fruit, etc.
Every time we have to enter an article in our Data Base, some fields are common to all the products.
Then, we can carry out closed lists, we mean that we define fixed lists (the features will be repeated
regularly).
Therefore, every time you repeat an item characteristic, we will have a list to which we can turn to. It
saves time and makes your work easier.

10.1.1 Traceability:
The first thing is to create the general questions and answers that will be possible to select in
order to the Classes and the Animals’ lot.

10.1.1.1 Answers Groups:

Max 6 Digits

Max 24 Digits

We edit the Class name, we give a name to the questions and select the answer we want to associate
to this class.
After filling in the parameters we have:

If by any chance you would have forgotten to write another list, to avoid having to return to another

section and exit this menu, just press the button additional data and it appears
the Additional Data menu. Explained in the previous point.
Once edited the necessary data in Texts / Traceability / Classes would be as follows:
