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 11-17
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
11-17 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.
