Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., 
UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). Six options are available.
• If Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN bar codes 
without supplementals are not decoded.
• If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN/
JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN is decoded and the supplemental bar 
code is ignored.
• An Autodiscriminate Option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an appro-
priate  value from the next page. A value of 5 or more is recommended.
• Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes 
starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/
EAN/JAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon 
decode.
• Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting 
with a ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are 
exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon their decode. 
• Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes start-
ing with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/
EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon their 
decode.

To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or
