Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are additionally appended characters (2 or 5) according to specific code
format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 8+2). The following options are
available:
• If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the scanner is
presented with a UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes
UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the scanner only decodes
UPC/EAN symbols with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without
supplementals.
• If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, 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 on page 11-19 before
transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
• If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the scanner
immediately transmits EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have
supplemental characters. 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 on page 11-19 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that
prefix immediately.
