Decode UPC/EAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC-A+2, UPC-E+2, EAN 13+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 13-19 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 13-19 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.
