LS 3603 Product Reference Guide

• Decode Options (Continued)

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 3603 will, after additional processing to ensure a good decode, transmit

either. (NOTE: In order to minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, it

is recommended that you select whether to read or ignore supplemental

characters.)

Code 39 Check Digit

When enabled, this parameter checks the integrity of a Code 39 symbol to

ensure it complies with the modulo 43 check digit algorithm.

ITF-14/EAN-13 Conversion

If your terminal supports EAN-13, this feature converts a 14 character I 2 of 5

code into EAN-13, and transmits to the host as EAN-13. In order to accomplish

this, the I 2 of 5 code must be enabled, one length (either LENGTH 1 or

LENGTH 2) must be set to 14, the code must have a leading zero and a valid

EAN-13 check digit.

MSI Plessey Check Digit

One or two digits at the end of the bar code that check the integrity of the data.

At least one check digit (default) is always required. Check digits are not

transmitted with the data.

MSI/Plessey 2 Check Digit Algorithm

When the two MSI/Plessey check digits option is selected, an additional

verification is required to ensure integrity. Either of two algorithms may be

selected; Mod10 - Mod10 (default), or Mod11 - Mod10.
