Decode UPC/EAN/JAN SupplementalsParameter # 10h

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 immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode

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

transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.

•

If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner immediately transmits EAN-13

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

supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN

Supplemental Redundancy on page 13-13 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.
