- No Supplementals - the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner
decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters (default).
- Supplemental Always - the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and
ignores symbols without supplementals.
- Supplements Auto - the scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters immediately. If
the symbol does not have a supplemental, the scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via
UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
- Supplemental Smart - Enables smart supplementals. In this mode the decoder returns the decoded value of
the main block right away if it does not belong to one of the following supplemental types: 378, 379, 977, 978,
979, 414, 419, 434 or 439. If the bar code starts with one of the prefixes it searches the image more
aggressively for a supplemental. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning
failed, then the main bar code is returned.
- Supplemental 378-379 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 378 or
379. Disables reading of supplementals for any other UPC/EAN bar code not starting with 378 or 379. Tries to
scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code is returned.
- Supplemental 978-979 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 978 or
979. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN bar code not starting with 978 or 979. Tries to
scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code is returned.
- Supplemental 414-419-434-439 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with
414, 419, 434 or 439. Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN bar code 4 - 16 not starting
with 414, 419, 434 or 439. Tries to scan the supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed,
then the main bar code is returned.
- Supplemental 977 - Enables (auto-discriminate) supplemental for UPC/EAN codes starting with 977.
Disables reading of supplementals for another UPC/EAN barcode not starting with 977. Tries to scan the
supplemental if it is present. If the supplemental scanning failed, then the main bar code is returned.
• Retry Count - Retry count for auto-discriminating for supplementals. Possible values are 2 to 20 inclusive. Note
that this flag is only considered if Supplemental Mode - UPC EAN is set to one of the following values:
Supplementals Auto, Supplementals Smart, Supplementals 378-379, Supplementals 978-979, Supplementals
977 or Supplementals 414-419-434-439 (2 to 20, default 10).
• Bookland - Enable Bookland decoding. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
• Coupon - Enables Coupon code decoding. Note that in order to successfully decode Coupon codes, all of the
correct decoders must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
• Coupon Repost Mode - Traditional coupon symbols are composed of two bar code: UPC/EAN and Code 128. A
new coupon symbol is composed of a single Data Expanded bar code. The new format offers more options for
purchase values (up to $999.999) and supports complex discount offers as a second purchase requirement. An
interim coupon symbol also exists that contain 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.
- Old Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, scanning is
interim coupon symbol reports UPC, and scanning a new coupon symbol reports nothing (no decode).
- New Coupon Report Mode - 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 Report Modes - 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.
• Ean Zero Extended – Enable this parameter to add five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them
compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disable this to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is. Default – disabled.
• Convert DataBar To UPC EAN - If this is set it converts DataBar bar codes to UPC/EAN format. For this
setting to work UPC/EAN symbologies must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is
enabled.
