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).
The following options are available:
If one of the following Supplemental Mode options is selected, the bar code reader immediately transmits EAN-13 bar
codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the bar code
reader must decode the bar code the number of times set via "UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy" before
transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The bar code reader transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do
not have that prefix immediately.
Note: In order to minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, Honeywell recommends selecting whether to read or ignore
supplemental characters.
Option Result
Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only with
Supplementals
The bar code reader only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental
characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
Ignore Supplementals The bar code reader decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental
characters.
Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplementals
The bar code reader decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental
characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the
bar code reader must decode the bar code the number of times set via
"UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy" before transmitting its data
to confirm that there is no supplemental.
