Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
SSI # 10h
Parameter # 16
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2,
EAN 13+2).
Options:
•
Decode UPC/EAN/JAN with Supplementals - the scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols with
supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
•
*Ignore UPC/EAN/JAB with Supplementals - if the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN plus
supplemental symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
•
Autodiscriminate UPC/EANJAN 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/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page
12-25 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/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy on page 12-25 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do n
