11 - 12 DS3608 Digital Scanner Product Reference Guide
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:
•
If you select Ignore UPC/EAN with Supplementals, and the digital scanner is presented with a
UPC/EAN plus supplemental symbol, the digital scanner decodes UPC/EAN and ignores the supplemental
characters.
•
If you select Decode UPC/EAN with Supplementals, the digital scanner only decodes UPC/EAN symbols
with supplemental characters, and ignores symbols without supplementals.
•
If you select Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN Supplementals, the digital scanner decodes UPC/EAN symbols
with supplemental characters immediately. If the symbol does not have a supplemental, the digital scanner
must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy on page
11-15 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no supplemental.
•
If you select one of the following Supplemental Mode options, the digital scanner immediately transmits
EAN-13 bar codes starting with that prefix that have supplemental characters. If the symbol does not have a
supplemental, the digital scanner must decode the bar code the number of times set via UPC/EAN/JAN
Supplemental Redundancy on page 11-15 before transmitting its data to confirm that there is no
supplemental. The digital scanner transmits UPC/EAN bar codes that do not have that prefix immediately.
