Use setting 2 to enable reading of the 2 and 5 digit UPC/EAN supplements commonly found on magazines and paperback books as well as the Extended Coupon Codes. Using this setting force left to right reading of UPC codes to assure that the supplement code is not missed.

ISBN (International Standard Book Numbering) bar codes are EAN-13 with a 5-digit supplement. If the “Bookland” bar code uses 978 (books) or 977 (periodicals) as the first three digits, then the RF

Terminal can transmit it in the ISBN format. The settings for this are found under the Laser Options parameter. To enable transmission of the ISBN format, set the Laser Options parameter to D. To return to the default of normal EAN-13 transmission, set it to C. For details on ISBN, see Appendix J, UPC/EAN.

Use setting 4 and 9 to enable transmission of the NSC character to your computer. The Number System Character is the leading character in the bar code. For details, see Appendix J, UPC/EAN.

Use setting 6 and A to enable transmission of the check digit character to your computer. The check digit is the last character and is based upon a calculation performed on the other characters.

Setting C transmits UPC-E0 bar codes as is; setting D transmits them with inserted zero’s to make them the same length as a UPC-A bar code. A NSC of 0 is assumed. It is possible to read UPC-E1 bar codes; by default this option is disabled. Do not enable UPC-E1 if you plan

on reading EAN-13 bar codes; you may experience partial reads when reading EAN-13. The UPC-E1 option is set in the 2 of 5 Code
