Programming traceability tables
If you are using nonpreset schemes or scanning supplier proprietary barcodes, you need
to set up tables for:
•
countries of origin
•
slaughter centre references
•
cutting centre references.
Creating messages
When creating messages ensure that the messages programmed in your machine match
the messages used by your suppliers.
All your suppliers must use the same messages.
You can create seven different lists of messages.

Origin, slaughter reference and cutting reference information is mandatory. Category,
breed, type and species is additional information which may be included.
Origin messages
An origin message may be a country, a supplier or EC member states. You can print up
to four origin messages on the label, for example: country of birth, supplied by. The
default origin list contains internationally agreed country references (ISO 3166) but you
can change these if necessary. To revert to the default value just delete the current entry
in the table (see Part 1, section
4.2, Creating and editing text
,
page 32
) and press
Enter
.
Slaughter reference
This table stores reference information about where the animal was slaughtered. It
contains the name of the country and the approval number for the slaughterhouse.
Cutting reference
This table stores reference information about where the carcass was cut up and de-
boned. It contains the name of the country and the approval number for the cutting
centre.
