Decode Options

Transmit UPC-E/UPC-A Check Digit

Select if decoded UPC symbols are transmitted with or without a check digit.

Convert UPC-E To UPC-A

Use this parameter to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-
A format before transmission. After conversion, data will follow UPC format
and be affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check
Digit).

Ean Zero Extend

This parameter adds five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make
them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols.

Xmit “No Decode” Message

This feature gives you the option to transmit “NR” when a symbol does not
decode. Prefixes and suffixes enabled will be appended around this message.

Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental

Select whether UPC/EAN is decoded with or without supplemental
characters. Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5)
according to specific code format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN
8+2).
If UPC/EAN with supplemental characters is selected, UPC/EAN symbols
without supplemental characters won't be decoded. If UPC/EAN without
supplemental characters is selected and the scanner is presented with a UPC/
EAN plus supplemental symbol, the UPC/EAN will be decoded and the
supplemental characters ignored.
If autodiscrimination is chosen, the LS 3070 will, after additional processing to
ensure a good decode, transmit either. (NOTE: T o minimize the risk of invalid
data transmission, it is recommended that you select whether to read or
ignore supplemental characters.)
