GS1 Composite Codes
Linear codes are combined with a unique 2D composite component to form a new class called GS1 Composite symbology.
GS1 Composite symbologies allow for the co-existence of symbologies already in use. Default = Off.
UPC/EAN Version
Scan the UPC/EAN Version On bar code to decode GS1 Composite symbols that have a U.P.C. or an EAN linear compo-
nent. (This does not affect GS1 Composite symbols with a GS1-128 or GS1 linear component.) Default = UPC/EAN Ver-
sion Off.
Note: If you scan coupons that have both UPC and GS1 DataBar codes, you may wish to scan and output only the data from
the GS1 DataBar code. See Coupon GS1 DataBar Output (page 6-19) for further information.
GS1 Composite Code Message Length
Scan the bar codes below to change the message length. Refer to Message Length Description (page 6-1) for additional
information. Minimum and Maximum lengths = 1-2435. Minimum Default = 1, Maximum Default = 2435.
GS1 Emulation
The scanner can automatically format the output from any GS1 data carrier to emulate 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 recog-
nize 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 A-1).
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 A-1).
