5-26 Chapter 5: Programming
If reading UPC/EAN bar codes is disabled, there are no other entries allowed for this
parameter. However, if reading UPC/EAN bar codes is enabled, the remaining parameters can
be programmed.
Extend UPC–A to EAN–13
The Extend UPC–A to EAN–13 parameter determines whether to pad the tag data, changing
12-digit UPC tags to 13-Character EAN tags. The program does this by putting a zero (0) at
the front of the tag data. Scan the Hex 0 tag to disable this option or the Hex 1 tag to enable it.
Extend UPC–E to UPC–A
The Extend UPC–E to UPC–A parameter determines whether to pad the tag data, changing 6-
digit UPC tags to 12–digit UPC–A tags. Scan the Hex 0 tag to disable this option or the Hex 1
tag to enable it.
Add-On Bar Codes
The Add-On Bar Codes parameter controls the processing of Add-On Bar Codes. Disable Add-
On Bar Codes by scanning the Hex 0 tag and enable them by scanning the Hex 1 tag.
If Add-On Bar Codes is disabled, there are no other entries allowed for this parameter.
Scanning the Hex 0 tag also causes the scanner to go back to the Program Mode. However, if
Add-On Bar Codes is enabled, the Add-On Code Length and Send Data parameters must also
be programmed.
Add-On Code Length
The Add-On Code Length parameter has three selections: 2-digit Add-On only, 5-digit Add-On
only, and either 2- or 5-digit Add-Ons. Scan the Hex 0 tag for 2-digit only, the Hex 1 tag for 5-
digit extension, or the Hex 2 tag for both the 2- and 5-digit.
Send Data
Send Data parameter has only one option: Data As Decoded. If the Hex 0 tag is scanned, the
data is sent as decoded, whether or not there are extension digits.
Set 2 Tag Label
The Set 2 Tag Label parameter permits the scanner to read 2 tag specially–linked bar codes.
This parameter has 2 selections: Enable and Disable. Scan Hex 2 to enable this function or
scan Hex A tag to disable it.
