Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Parameter # 16
SSI # 10h
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:
• Decode UPC/EAN/JAN with Supplementals Only - The scanner only decodes UPC/EAN/JAN symbols
with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
• Ignore UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals - When presented with a UPC/EAN/JAN plus supplemental
symbol, the scanner decodes UPC/EAN/JAN and ignores the supplemental characters.
• Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN/JAN with Supplementals - The scanner decodes UPC/EAN/JAN 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 12-16
before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
Select one of the following Supplemental Mode options to immediately transmit 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
12-16 before transmitting the data to confirm that there is no supplemental. The scanner transmits
UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.

• Supplemental User-Programmable Type 1 - This applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with a 3-digit
user-defined prefix. Set this using User-Programmable Supplementals on page 12-16.
• Supplemental User-Programmable Type 1 and 2 - This applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with either of
two 3-digit user-defined prefixes. Set the prefixes using User-Programmable Supplementals on page 12-16.
• Smart Supplemental Plus User-Programmable 1 - This applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with any
prefix listed previously or the prefix set using User-Programmable Supplementals on page 12-16.
• Smart Supplemental Plus User-Programmable 1 and 2 - This applies to EAN-13 bar codes starting with
any prefix listed previously or one of the two user-defined prefixes set using User-Programmable
Supplementals on page 12-16.
NOTE If you select 978/979 Supplemental Mode and are scanning Bookland EAN bar codes, see Bookland EAN
on page 12-11 to enable Bookland EAN, and select a format using Bookland ISBN Format on page 12-12.
