supplemental characters are not decoded.
!If UPC/EAN with out supplementa l characters is selected, and th e P 300 Series
scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the UPC/EAN

appropriate Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page.
A value of 5 or more is recommended.
