• Bookland Format - If Bookland EAN is enabled, select one of the following formats for Bookland data:
• Format ISBN-10 - The decoder reports Bookland data starting with 978 in traditional 10-digit format with
the special Bookland check digit for backward-compatibility. Data starting with 979 is not considered
Bookland in this mode. (default)
• Format ISBN-13 - The decoder reports Bookland data (starting with either 978 or 979) as EAN-13 in
13-digit format to meet the 2007 ISBN-13 protocol.
• Coupon - Enables Coupon code decoding. Note that in order to successfully decode Coupon codes, all of
the correct decoders must be enabled. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is enabled.
(default - disabled).
• Coupon Report Mode - Traditional coupon symbols are composed of two barcode: UPC/EAN and Code
128. A new coupon symbol is composed of a single Data Expanded barcode. The new format offers more
options for purchase values (up to $999.999) and supports complex discount offers as a second purchase
requirement. An interim coupon symbol also exists that contain both types of barcodes: UPC/EAN and
Databar Expanded. This format accommodates both retailers that do not recognize or use the additional
information included in the new coupon symbol, as well as those who can process new coupon symbols.
• Old Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128,
scanning is interim coupon symbol reports UPC, and scanning a new coupon symbol reports nothing
(no decode).
• New Coupon Report Mode - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports either UPC or Code 128, and
scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded.
• Both Coupon Report Modes - Scanning an old coupon symbol reports both UPC and Code 128, and
scanning an interim coupon symbol or a new coupon symbol reports Databar Expanded. (default)
• Ean Zero Extend – Enable this parameter to add five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make
them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols. Disable this to transmit EAN-8 symbols as is. Default –
disabled.
• Linear Decode - This option applies to code types containing two adjacent blocks, for example, UPC-A,
EAN-8, EAN-13. Enable this parameter to transmit a bar code only when both the left and right blocks are
successfully decoded within one laser scan. Enable this option when bar codes are in proximity to each
other (default - enabled).
• Retry Count - Retry count for auto-discriminating for supplementals. Possible values are 2 to 20 inclusive.
Note that this flag is only considered if Supplemental Mode - UPC EAN is set to one of the following values:
Supplementals Auto, Supplementals Smart, Supplementals 378-379, Supplementals 978-979,
Supplementals 977 or Supplementals 414-419-434-439 (2 to 20, default 10).
• Security Level - The scanner offers four levels of decode security for UPC/EAN barcodes. Select higher
security levels for lower quality barcodes. There is an inverse relationship between security and decode
speed, so be sure to choose only that level of security necessary for the application.
• Level 0 - This default setting allows the scanner to operate fastest, while providing sufficient security in
decoding “in-spec” UPC/EAN barcodes.
• Level 1 - As barcode quality levels diminish, certain characters become prone to misdecodes before
others (i.e., 1, 2, 7, 8). If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are
limited to these characters, select this security level. (default).
• Level 2 - If the scanner is misdecoding poorly printed barcodes, and the misdecodes are not limited to
characters 1, 2, 7, and 8, select this security level.
• Level 3 - If the scanner is still misdecoding, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is
an extreme measure against misdecoding severely out of spec barcodes. Selecting this level of security
can significantly impair the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to
improve the quality of the barcodes.
• Supplemental2 - Enables or disables this option. A check in the checkbox indicates that the option is
enabled.
