GS1 Emulation
The 8680i can automatically format the output from any GS1 data carrier to emu-
late what would be encoded in an equivalent GS1-128 or GS1 DataBar symbol.
GS1 data carriers include UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13 and EAN-8, ITF-14, GS1-
128, and GS1-128 DataBar and GS1 Composites. (Any application that accepts
GS1 data can be simplified since it only needs to recognize one data carrier type.)
If GS1-128 Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8, EAN13)
are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the GS1-
128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on page 221).
If GS1 DataBar Emulation is scanned, all retail codes (U.P.C., UPC-E, EAN8,
EAN13) are expanded out to 16 digits. If the AIM ID is enabled, the value will be the
GS1-DataBar AIM ID, ]em (see Symbology Charts on page 221).
If GS1 Code Expansion Off is scanned, retail code expansion is disabled, and UPC-
E expansion is controlled by the UPC-E0 Expand (page 117) setting. If the AIM ID
is enabled, the value will be the GS1-128 AIM ID, ]C1 (see Symbology Charts on
page 221).
If EAN8 to EAN13 Conversion is scanned, all EAN8 bar codes are converted to
EAN13 format.
Default = GS1 Emulation Off.
