Motorola DS3478 Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals

Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals

Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN

13+2). The following options are available:

• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN

plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.

• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with

supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.

• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with

supplemental characters immedi ately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must

decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy on page 13-12

before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately tr ansmit s EAN-13

bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a

supplementa l, the scanner must decode the bar code the nu mber of times set via UPC/EAN Supplement al

Redundancy on page 13-12 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The

scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.
