3.1.8 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 Decode
UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy 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 Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy 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.
• Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 978/979 Supplemental Mode.
NOTE
If you select 978/979 Supplemental Mode and are scanning Bookland EAN
bar codes, see Enable/Disable Bookland EAN to enable Bookland EAN, and
select a format using Bookland ISBN Format.
• Enable 977 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 414/419/434/439 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable 491 Supplemental Mode.
• Enable Smart Supplemental Mode - applies to EAN-13 bar
codes starting with any prefix listed previously.
