Coupon Report
Parameter # 730
Traditional coupon symbols (old coupon symbols) are composed of two bar codes: UPC/EAN and Code128. A
new coupon symbol is composed of a single Databar Expanded bar code. The new coupon format offers more
options for purchase values (up to $999.99) and supports complex discount offers such as a second purchase
requirement.
An interim coupon symbol also exists that contains both types of bar codes: UPC/EAN and Databar Expanded.
This format accommodates both retailers that do not recognize or use the additional information included in the
new coupon symbol, as well as those who can process new coupon symbols.
Scan a bar code below to select one of the following options for decoding coupon symbols:
• Old Coupon Symbols - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, scanning an
interim coupon symbol reports UPC, and scanning a new coupon symbol reports nothing (no decode).
• New Coupon Symbols - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports either UPC or Code 128, and scanning
an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded.
• Both Coupon Formats - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, and scanning
an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded.
